You can see from your picture that if the trailing arm and arb are pushed and rotated upwards, they will meet easily. With the hub on, you can simply jack them both into place, and refit the shocker bolt at the same time. It doesn't require the full weight of the car taking on the jack, so no danger of lifting it off stands.

Rain has stopped play yet again. It's chucking it down.
Yes, I'll try it this way. Hopefully there's enough ground clearance to get both jacks under the hubs - one jack is quite high even when it's in the fully lowered position. Quote:

Handbrake cables aren't connected at the hubs yet - I'll do that when the rain stops. The shoes will be miles out of adjustment because they're new, plus I decided now would be a good time to fit a stainless steel compensator. |

Arb
Just replaced my rear springs, no ARB to worry about, Rover must have stopped fitting a rear one around 2003.

Looking at the image, you could get away with the scissor jack (carefully) with a small piece of wood on it to both maintain contact with the hub, and to stop it slipping off as it arcs upwards. But you only need to lift it about an inch or so if I recall.

The roll bar is now on. The dampers were the key - as soon as they were on everything lined up nicely. Hoorah!
Btw, the trolley jacks just went under the trailing arms (only just) with a small bit of wood between each arm and each jack. Thanks to all. |
