Reinstalling rear springs and axle in 64 MK2

Before too long I want to temporarily reinstall the rear axle and springs in my 64 MK2. I have done some research on the topic and "JagV8" on the Jaguar World Forum recommended the following procedure. Before undertaking this job, I thought I would enquire of those more experienced than I as to the advisability of taking this approach. Any thoughts?


• Loosely mount the springs on the axle,
• Roll the axle under the car on the wheels and tires
• Lower the body to loosely attach the torsion rods
• Swing the springs up into the front mounts
• Raise the axle up into place
• Secure with the spring mount plate


Thanks so much.
Happy Holidays!

Hmmm. Those springs fit into the body a fair ways. I am not sure connecting the torsion bars first and rolling the springs up into place is possible....but, who knows. Never done it.
This is just temporary?
