Hi Newbie here, great site for info thanks.

Ive got a 206cc ive brought as a bit of a project and ive gotta drop the rear beam out to swop with another due to the trailing arm being bent.

obviously on a cc there is the cross bracing underneath preventing me dropping the rear beam straight down and thanks to the void box under the boot floor it wont pull out through the side either.

What I need to know is, if I remove the cross braces from under the rear floor do I need to fit temporary bracing to stop any chassis flex whilst its sat up on axle stands or do the axle stands need to be in a specific location (currently under sill jacking points) as obviously the last thing I wanna do is cripple the body shell?

Thanks in advance for any info.

I doubt the body is that weak when stationery. I'd just get on and undo them.

Our CC lived in Dundee most of it's life .. these torx bolts were never, ever coming out alive .. and didn't!

I've heard of front subframe bolts being the same!
