DISASSEMBLY
1. Raise vehicle and support with proper jackstands for
the weight, leaving the suspension hanging.
2. Use caution around hot exhaust systems to avoid
burns.
3. Use penetrating oil on all nuts and bolts.
Note: Some GM Trucks have a brace bar attached to
the left and right side frame rails. Remove bolt and
swing bar out of the way during installation.
4. Remove the bolts and clamps from the system and
lubricate the rubber hangers.
5. Use a pry bar to pull the rubber isolators off of the
pipe hangers.
6. Remove the old system. In some cases, you will find
it easier to cut the overaxle pipe to remove it.
