<VV> half shafts on reinstall

[Bryan Blackwell]

 From the sounds of it, you already have the lower control arms  
connected.  That's the way I've done it as well, you then hook up one  
end of the halfshaft and then push in to get it to seat.  Your idea  
of a 6 foot clamp might work if you used a couple of pipe clamps.

Really, I think the best way I've heard is lower the rear of the  
engine, halfshafts first, then lower control arms.  Final step is  
raise the engine and attach to the rear engine mount.
