    Yes, the four rear bolts had the nuts attached, but left loose. This lined up the sub-frame correctly so when the car was lowered, the flanges on the front of the sub-frame lined right up with the frame.

    The correct term is stooges if you don't mind! :D Not all of us have the ceiling height in our garages for a two post lift, so we have to get creative.

    My stooges, ah helpers, when the engine came out on 2 furniture dollies, 2 jacks, and a 4 post lift (heaven sent).

    One hole was previously stripped (not by me) and I just fixed it today with a helicoil.

    That is what the ... stooges are for. Not too bad though once you get them on the bottle jacks.

    2 floor jacks
    2 6-inch bottle jacks
    2 8-inch bottle jacks
    1 ATV 1500-lbs jacks
    1 4-post lift
    10 18 inch long 4x4
    2 1000-lb furniture dollies
    1 1500-lb furniture dolly
    1 2000-lb engine crane

    I now have more jacks than cars.
