Can anybody tell me if it is possible to replace the Rear A frame (de Dion) in isolation, or do other bits of the suspension have to be removed first. Unfortunately the frame snapped today, as I drove it out of the drive and looking at it, it seems like it will be difficult with everything under stress. The car has an ARB and no watts linkage (1995/6 supersport).

Any thoughts gratefully received.

Should be an easy job without having to remove any other bits. Remember to measure to ensure axle is central, putting in appropriate number of washers.
