Yes, you can take off either of the back wheels, but not both!! I’ve done it. I took off the passenger-side rear wheel because I wasn’t entirely confident and I figured less weight on the free-floating side would be safer for a first try. Also interesting is the rear fender which is attached by just one bolt. A wheel-nut sized bolt so you can take them off in 30 seconds with the wheel wrench. There’s no rear wheel arch, so changing a back tyre would be tricky otherwise. While we’re at it... you don’t have to Jack up the car. You set the ride height to maximum, put a prop under the chassis corner, and lower the ride-height. The wheel in question automatically lifts off the ground. Quite magical.

@@netmatrix75 - The hydraulic suspension is not expensive to maintain until the car is old and everything is worn out and rubber parts are deteriorated from age and heat. The greatest killer of old Citroëns, besides crashes, is rust. They were made back when rustproofing was very much ignored. The frame boxes were barely painted inside. Spray-on undercoating cracked after a few years. Capillary action drew water, in the winter salt water, against the metal, causing severe corrosion. The way the skeleton frames were assembled, with hundreds of lap joints spot welded, as well drew water into the joints. If the accumulators ("spheres") are repressurized before the diaphragm is torn or punctured, they will last for a very long time. And the fluids should be changed on schedule. Many old "LHS" cars were damaged by not changing the (DOT3 brake) fluid annually. The best I could find was Castrol LMA (Low Moisture Absorption), which has a different label now. The reservoir is open to the air, allowing the fluid to absorb water. Failure to change the fluid results in corrosion of the steel and aluminum parts in the system. Also, in the USA mechanics ignorant of the cars poured oil or antifreeze in the reservoir. The later LHM (a special hydraulic oil similar to MIL-H-5606) cars suffer from failure to change the hydraulic fluid every two years, pouring brake fluid in the reservoir, pouring antifreeze in the reservoir. Ignorant mechanics would pour 80W-90 GL-5 oil in the transmissions, damaging the brass synchronizer rings, instead of the correct oil, 75W-80 GL-4, which leads to slow synchronization and nasty crunching noises. I had to buy a 5 gallon pail of 75W-80 but now I see it on the shelf in auto parts stores. In manual shift cars the driver can compensate by shifting more slowly but in hydraulic shift cars the shifting speed doesn't compensate for weak synchronization. As the engines have cast iron blocks, iron (meehanite) sleeves and aluminum cylinder heads, changing the coolant every two years is essential. At least these cars were made when copper/brass radiators and heater cores were the usual! Note: I have 3 SM radiators and one DS/ID crossflow radiator for factory air conditioning prepped cars. I had a full set of A/C parts with the two condensers, one on each side of the front end, below the bumper, and an A/C bellhousing and compressor bracket but burglars stole them, most likely to sell for scrap to buy meth.

For a European car it is a very large example. These cars were very desirable even back then. This is a fine looking automobile and to find one that is in very good running order is rare these days. This was a real revolution in design when they came out. And for as large as they were they would scoot on down the road very fast and they were very stable on any kind of road surface because of it's suspension. I got to drive one when I was seventeen and the car was a brand new 71 model. I really put it through it's paces that afternoon for about 2 hours.
