OK, took another crack at it again today after reading tall the posts. For the record, my chassis is #2572, and it does not have the same bracket/setup as indicated in the SPF bulletin.

Mine has a "C" shaped mounting plate (open end facing ground). There are two bolts connecting the bracket to the frame on either side mounted in a bushing. There are three bolts that connect the bracket to the differential; two bolts at the top of the bracket, and a third at the bottom. The parking brake assembly is connected to the bracket at two points; one bolt that goes through the assembly and into the differential; the other is threaded into the bracket, but has no means of removal.

The two bolts w/ bushings are no problem. The bottom bolt cannot be backed out completely due to the rotor, but should come out far enough to remove the bracket. The top two bolts are almost impossible to get to. I broke one free, and should be able to get it out eventually; the other I can get a wrench on, but no leverage to break it free.

Not enough room under car for pics.

Does anyone else have a similar setup, and how did you replace the pads? Whoever designed this setup should be shot. Way too complicated for such a simple purpose.
