i would like to pull the whole k-member out since the engine is out anyway. grind it and repaint it. replace bushings, blah blah blah. How hard is it when the engine is already out? i havent looked at all but i figure its prolly a few bolts and it comes out? some on the subframe and somewhere else i imagine? anybody know?

 

Of course you will want to pull the springs out first as once the strut is off nothing else is gonna hold them. Then basicly there are the two gussets and two large, very tight bolts on each side.

 

And it should just be coated with that black waxy crap (an dirt). Gasoline, pressure washer (with heat helps) will take it down to metal. Grinding or sanding will just clog

 

ahhhh i was gona tie a piece of fishin line to the upper and lower a-arms to keep the spring tight..[:'(]

i was gonna attack it with an impact. hope for the best kinda thing.

 

Yeah I pulled mine out with an impact. It vibrated my teeth!

 

well ill just take mine out then.. lol.


thats gona take awhile i think..
