      Some cars require that the car be on the ground when you install or remove the 'lollipop' bolts.

      If your car is too low to facilitate this, you can try carefully putting the floor jack under one wheel to 'unload' the lollipop and try again.

      Most cars require you to do the final torquing of the lollipop bolts with the car on level ground.

        Huh??? The lollipop that is on the back the lover control arm... it shouldn't require it to be on the floor.. only thing that should be needed are a ratchet, a socket, maybe an extension to get a good angle, and a cheater pipe if you aren't feeling manly enough!
