remove exhaust back box and drop mid pipe.
remove spare wheel and hanger.
jack and support rear
remove wheels
remove handbrake cables from underside/inside of car
undo brake pipes
undo clip abs x2 if it has it
6 bolts in boot and it will drop to floor. good idea to have jacks and mates holding it!

reverse to refit.
remember to bleed brakes!

As above...but remember to disconnect the brakes first lol. And wiring for ABS is applicable.

Edit - I'm too slow as usual!

When you have undone the handbrake cables inside the car can they be passed though the floor out the bottom of the car? I assume they can as it looks like one continuous cable from the caliper to the adjuster at the handbrake.

I'm just wondering actually if it would be worth cracking the bolts loose but leaving the wheels on, that way when you undo it, the discs/drums won't hit the floor?

as others can testify...unless you have the car about 2feet in the air, if you leave the wheels on, you cant get the beam out from under the car!

easiest way is to support the trailing arms with axle stands and drop a trolley jack down slowly in the middle of the beam..

did it this morning and vice versa for refitting it only took about 20 minutes
