i wanted to drop my x-member to clean it up before i put everything else back in, so was wondering how difficult a manuever that might be... was also wondering if it's "safe" to remove the springs by using a jack, or are they still pretty extended to be doing that? i've replaced them before using the compressor, but just asking. also looks like brake lines will be a pain in the butt... my engine is not ready to go back in, but i keep finding stuff to do and running out of time...

i pulled out my springs using just a jack under the control arm. just exercise extreme caution and common sense
