Provide additional support when a vehicle is on a hoist in the following ways:
• Before removing parts, support the opposite end. This helps prevent the vehicle from slipping off.
• Before removing major components, chain the vehicle frame to the hoist pads at the same end as the removal. This helps avoid a tip-off. (more…)

Step 1 – Vehicle Preparation
Remove the negative battery cable. With the vehicle on a solid level surface, chock the front wheels. Using a jack rated for the weight of your vehicle, raise the wheels off the ground. Lower the vehicle frame onto jack stands rated for the vehicle weight, making sure the suspension is fully extended. (Do not use wood or concrete blocks to support the vehicle.)
Step 2 – Remove the Coil Spring
Put a jack under the axle on the left side of the vehicle. Remove the lower bolt from the shock absorber. Lower the axle until the coil spring can be removed. Caution: DO NOT put tension or strain on the flexible brake line. Remove the jounce bumper located in the coil spring. The jounce bumper will not be reused. Drill a 3/8″ hole in the center of the lower spring seat for the air line to pass through. See Figure “C”.

Bumper removal and cutting is required for the Fiat Croma (see separate sheet), but not for the Vauxhall Vectra.
1. Lift the floor covering in the boot and remove the rear panel trim and the two side panels. Locate the dimples provided in the floor and rear panel. (Removal of mastic compound may be required to reveal the dimples and to ensure correct seating of Spreader Plates (E)). At dimples in floor drill holes of just sufficient size to insert Bushes (F) into the frame (top surface only).
Insert Bushes (F), position Spreader Plates (E) and Sidearms (D) as shown below – use Bolts (H) inserted from above to keep bushes etc in position.

1. For the Dakota: Remove bumper, retaining all OEM fasteners for reinstallation.
Proceed to Step 2.
For the Durango: Prior to removing the bumper, cut and remove the center portion of the bumper and air dam as shown in the photo below.

2. Clamp the driver-side mount plate to the outside of the driver-side vehicle frame. Make sure the mount alignment tab fits up against the back of the vehicle frame front plate, and the front and rear plate stiffeners are snug against the bottom of the frame. When positioned correctly, mount plate holes align near the center of the vehicle frame.

INSTALLATION
1. Remove the four screws mounting the hood release under the dash.
2. Move hood release assembly 3/4” toward the passenger side of the vehicle and re-mount using the three #10 self-tapping screws provided. Note: The larger hole in the dash mount will not be reused. (Fig. 2)
3. Place the supplied dash bracket between the hood latch and the emergency brake release. Bend the dash bracket so it is parallel to the firewall (Fig. 2). The amount of bend may vary. Note: to protect the finish, place the bracket between two small blocks of wood in a vice and tap down with a soft face hammer or lift with non-marring tool.
