how hard is it to remove a k member

ok, I got the A arms dropped down and the springs out of it, and i am still alive lol. Anyways what do you guys think about just dropping the whole k member while i am this far and clean everything up and repaint it. Or get a spohn tubular K member for it . only thing i am worried about is it being ok to drive on the street thx all

its just bolted on. but the engine is sitting on it, you will need to support the engine first. there is also a brake line attached to it you dont want to forget about

I got it the engine was already out, kinda scary that there is only 6 bolts holding my front end on .

Re: how hard is it to remove a k member

Yup, 6 bolts is all that holds the K-member to the rest of the car....

There's a bunch of other minor floobie dust, stuff like brake lines, little reinforcing brackets, and such as that; but basically, from where you are right now, it's ... 6 bolts.

It'd be a good idea to pop the CAs off the K-member and put new bushings and ball joints in them, since you're already there; and swap the motor mounts too.
