Paul,
I have a 78 EL II that my sil and I replaced body pads. We did loosen all body to frame bolts, some that required jam nuts to hold bollts fron turning. In addition we used a jack and 2x4 to raise body to hold pressure on the bolts and so pads would slide in. Jack and 2x4 helped the most.

Yep. There was no way I was going to get the thick pads in that way. It is a very small sample set of anecdotal data, but I note that the you and the other poster who said they were able to do it that way both had '77s, and the one other person who said he had as much trouble as me had a '78.
I will try the jack body then remove nut method this evening.
