how hard is it to drop a jag rear end?

Working on some braking issues on the car I bought and may have some frozen rear calipers. Dropping the rear end will be my last resort when going through the braking system. How hard is it to drop the rear out of a contemporary. I don't have the build manual so I haven't seen how it went in.

My old car was an EM with Corvette IRS and that was pretty easy to take out and put back in solo. What about the Jag in a Contemporary?

I wanted the inboard brakes so now I gotta deal with them. Hears to hoping the problem lies elsewhere.

Not sure about a Contemporary, but I have dropped and reinstalled my Unique's Jag IRS solo using a floor jack, rope, a length of 2X8 and a smattering of colorful epithets. It's not all that difficult.

Easier than Easy! 6 bolts, 4 shocks, the brake line and E-brake cable and sway bar.
