Removing the panhard bar? I need to remove the bar to put new oil into my strange 12 bolt rear. If I remove the panhard bar, will it throw the alignment off for the rear end. Can I just simple unbolt it from one part of the rear and let it hang, while I change the oil?

Yeah you're fine taking the panhard off or just unbolting one side... since things shift around a bit though, you may have to jack the rear end up/down to get it to line back up with the mounting holes again.

In the rear, I put the stands inboard of the LCA mounts on the body. Just "behind" them is a boxed "frame" section that I use for stands. Of course, I usually jack the car by the SFC's (SLP's make a great jacking rail). Just jack it up by the differential and set it on stands under the "boxed frame". Don't forget to block the front wheels so it can't slide off the stands.
