1960-64 Chevrolet Impala Convertible Body Mount Removal and Installation

Removal and Installation Loosen Positions 1, 5 and 6 on the driver and passenger sides but do not completely remove the bolts. Completely remove bolts for positions 2, 3, and 4 on the driver and passenger sides. These inner positions, if not removed, could possibly damage the body when lifting it from the frame.
Removal: Remove bolts from positions 1, 5, 6 and the Front Clip on one side of the vehicle. Use a jack and something to disperse the force of the jack on the body, typically a block of wood, to raise the body off the frame just enough to remove the old bushings and hardware. *Be cognizant of brake lines, the fan shroud, and various hoses when lifting the body. Also, note the location and position of any existing shims that may be present, as you will need to return them to these positions when reinstalling to ensure proper body alignment.
Installation: With the old bushings and hardware removed, install the upper poly bushings, washers and any pre-existing shims in positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. *See diagram 2 below for assembly order. Lower the body until it is barely making contact with the mounts. With the body in this position, make sure the washers and poly bushings are properly aligned, add the lower bushing and washer, and start the bolts for all positions.
With the bolts started and the bushings and washers in place, set the body back onto the frame. Now, remove the bolts from positions 2, 3 and 4, so you can safely lift the body when installing on the opposite side. At the end of this step you should have poly bushings, washers and bolts loosely assembled in positions 1, 5 and 6 and upper bushings and washers aligned in positions 2, 3 and 4 on one side of the vehicle. Follow the same steps for removal and installation on the opposite side. Once positions 1, 5 and 6 on the passenger and driver sides have been loosely assembled and the body is fully resting on the mounts, you can install the bolts for positions 2, 3 and 4 on both sides. Torque all positions to 40 – 50lbs.
After the body mounts in positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on the driver and passenger sides have been tightened to the proper torque specifications, use the provided hardware and Diagram 1 to secure the Front Clip positions.
