[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 13655484, member: 55701"] It's big, it's heavy, but it's VERY easy. Remove the calipers and hang them. Disconnect ABS sensors. Assuming you have stock springs, remove the bolts from strut to knuckle (2) and lower control arm with jack, remove spring. Remove the sway bar. Link on each side, 2 nuts hold sway bar to front frame at bushings on each side. Steering. Disconnect the steering shaft from the rack, you will want to make sure the steering wheel is locked. Disconnect the two lines (hydroboost) going down to the rack. It's tight in there and sometimes it is easier to take the two bolts rack to k member out to be able to move the rack around a lot. Disconnect the two motor mount bolts (obviously the engine should be supported from the top around this point. Now the K is ready to come down. There are two large bolts on each side that go k member to frame. In addition, there are two on each side toward the rear (much smaller). I'm sure there are one or two small things I'm forgetting such as the small ground wire on the passenger side frame to k member. but in a gist, the k member is going to come down with the rack and the lower control arms, knuckles, rotors. Plenty of excuses in all of that to upgrade to some new, shiny parts. A friend is not necessary in terms of difficulty, but it certainly would help as an extra set of eyes and to help with the bulk of the stock stuff. I would budget a couple hours to do this for the first time. not difficult, just big. [/QUOTE]
