To do this all you need is a good trolley jack and an imperial tool kit plus socket set with a pry-bar and some big screwdrivers to prise the sub-frame down slightly. All the tools will cost less than a garage would charge for labour.
Do the top and rear ones first, then do them up lightly and do the fronts.
To drop the back of the frame you just need to undo the rear exhaust mounts and the back of the gear linkage to allow the engine to drop. The top engine steady bar needs to be undone, but not much else as the back of the sub-frame only needs to drop about 1".
With the right tools it's a mornings job really, say 4 hours.
Well that doesnt sound to hard, and I should have all the tools. would my method of driving onto the ramps then, onc eeverything is undone, jack the shell up and away from the frame?
Once I have ordered up the bits in a couple of weeks Ill get her back on the ramps and see if i can get it done myself :)
Thanks for the posts, giving me some confidence! lol
