I've started to strip the rear of my v70 awd and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for removal.
Subframe and trailing arm bolts will come undone as I checked this first. I've taken exhaust system off dropped the fuel lines and brake pipe, disconnected the abs connections and taken the metal ring out of the fuel cap assembly. Do I drop the tank first do I have to disconnect fuel pipes ??
