Advice on aluminum rear trailing arms

This winter I plan to go through my 72T suspension - elephant racing rubber bushings, Turbo tie rods, powder coat A arms. On the rear, plan is to swap original trailing arms for 77SC alloy (with balljoint for sway bar) and change spring plates to 78SC adjustable type. I have Wevo EZ pins for the trailing arms mount, and plan to cut old bolts. Looking for project advice in general, and any info on areas of difficulty / things to watch out for on this project. Should the trailing arms be a direct clean swap, or should I expect clearance problems on a 72T with original narrow fenders? Thanks in advance!

The aluminum arms should be a direct swap, no track width change. I hope you have a reciprocating saw to cut those bolts. Make sure you measure your current spring plate angle before removing them. Angle is measured with spring plate completely free.

Thanks Ed. Sawzall at the ready.

I started to cut some TA bolts on a 72 but it was such a pain and way too easy to cause damage to everything adjacent to the bolts that I just dropped the engine and transmission to in install the EZ pins.

You should enjoy the added negative camber as well…

I'm with Longballa , just remove the engine and transaxle . That's my advice .

A three or four inch cutoff wheel on an angle grinder may give you more control than a reciprocating saw.

Thanks for the great advice.
