[QUOTE="Nuar, post: 14298638, member: 80141"] I approached the job with the same intensions as you... Not to drop the K member... In the end I was REALLY mad at my self that I didn't lower the k member sooner... You do not need to completely remove the K member, just unbolt it and swing it down. The front will still be attatched to the suspension and the rear of the k will swing down and rest on the ground. That being said ... Get yourself a set of ratchettig wrenches or at the very least the wrench required for the header nuts (don't remember the size.. 13 or 15 mm??) I also highly recommend a set of ratchetting reverse torx wrenches in case you decide to pull a few studs when trying to slip the header in place. The steering shaft bolt can be tricky, so draw a mark across the shaft and over the gead of the bolt so you know which way it went in, it is possible to put that bolt in backwards and that will cause a lot of slop in the steering wheel. A lot of people have a problem with the starter, one bolt can be a pain.. i had NO problem at all simply because I had access to various size ratchets and i used a very small swivel head ratchet with a long-ish extension and a deep socket. Came right out. Get the car as high as you safely can in the air on jackstands. Get a piece of 2x4 on the jack and jack up on the webbing of the transmission right before it joins with the motor. A little heads up, on the passenger aide engine mount, there is a ground strap wire attatched to one of the studs. You will hate that guy after about 5 mins of meeting him lol. Good luck on the instal :) [/QUOTE]
