Its not hard
1. Put jack stands on the frame in front of the doors.
High enough to allow the cross member to be pulled out.
The front wheels will be off the ground.
2. Undo the brake lines from the union under the generator.
Take car with the brake lines, They can be fragile.
3. Mark and the pull the steering extension from the rack.
4. Remove one cross member bolt from each side. Loosen the
other bolts but do not remove.
5. Using a 2x6 or 2x8 across the back of the cross member
and a jack, support the rear of the cross member.
6. Remove the final two bolts. The cross member will want
to rotate down very quickly which is why you placed the
jack and 2x6.
7. Lower the jack and drag the cross member through
the drivers wheel well. Or grab the sway bar and pull it'
out the front, depending on how high up you are.
VERY IMPORTANT Read the CAT, STOA, TEAE tech tips
on reinforcing the cross member and DO IT! Also just as
important make and install John Logan's Fulcrum Pin Support
System. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON THIS.
