ERA Chas - did you pull the gas tank to remove the rear? It can't go straight back because of the gas tank. And it can't go straight down because the yoke is over the frame cross member. That only left rotating it up into position from underneath as it goes in - something that can't be easy with a 400 lb assembly. Or, the gas tank has to come out - not a huge deal other than about a dozen bolts.

Slide under the car with your floor jack and jack up into place. Mine was out twice easily and here it is after complete disassembly for powder coating and reassembly. Came out again later for ventilated rotors and pin drive hubs. If I could do it alone so can you.
Never did the ERA rear assembly so can't say but a friend did and I don't remember him having any major issues getting it in place.
