Re: Trailing arm bolts

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Refer to Workshop manual K:01:02 it is the bolt at the left side of 
the page where the trailing arm meets the frame. A better picture is 
in the Parts manual 5-3-0 fig #25 pn #106883. It is refered to as a 
trailing arm bolt in K:05:01 and :02. If you do not know that they 
were replaced order new upgraded ones from a Delorean vender. Count 
the # of spacers and replace exactly as removed or you will need an 
alignment. Loosen the bolt and rotate the head with a wrench, if the 
trailing arm moves up and down the bolt is bent and MUST be replaced. 
Be sure to torque to spec 55 FT/LBS WITH THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE CAR ON 
THE SUSPENSION. If the bolt is bent you may have to slice it up into 
little pieces to get it out. On an automatic car you will need to 
unbolt the rear carrier on the left to move the trailing arm to clear 
the trans.(Don't disconnect the rear caliper, there is enough freedom 
to move the trailing arm if you're careful.)
