Jack it up on the axle, then support on the sills using small blocks of wood with slots cut on them, on axle stands.

Undo the rear shocks from the rear beam if you leave them attached you will need to get the back end about 3 feet clear of the floor to pull out the rear beam. Put plenty of easing oil on the nuts that attach the beam to the car and let it soak in. If you strip them or snap the bolts your in a world of s##t. :lol:
