body lift info

[Alan461]

As above, can someone point me to a page with info on bolts to remove and things to disconnect?
Looked on the wiki but didn't find it.
Many thanks

Hi Alan....You can type in "400SE Restoration" in the search option which will bring up some pages...Is yours an FHC?

Starter for 10 and the list i used when I did the Gredge:

Starting at the back of the car ....

2 x along the rear of the chassis behind the diff

Each side has:

2 x just in front of the rear wheel arch
1 x seat belt bolts on the centre transmission tunnel
2 x each side, rear and front of the main chassis mounting plates inside the outriggers
1 x inside in the foot well next to the transmission tunnel
2 x small bolts inside the engine bay next to the front inner wheel arch
2 x in front of the radiator

Plus the usual ......

Steering
Brake/Clutch pipes
Earth straps (Front/Rear)
Handbrake
Gearbox reverse switch etc etc

As above, although it's pretty self explanatory if you work around the car methodically. My only advice is bag up the nuts and bolts as you go so you remember what goes where! I replaced all of mine but again I was able to ensure the right sizes were bought.

If your using man power to lift the body, it's REALLY very heavy!!
