i did a search and went through a 1/2 dozen pages and didn't see anything.....

i was taking the stock k-member off this weekend and got all the nuts and bolts out and was lowering it down with the floor jack making sure i had everything removed. all looked great until the driver's side stopped getting any closer to the ground. low and behold, the steering column is still connected to the k-member. what the best way to remove this part. there is one bolt close to the firewall that looks like i could take out and then be able to completely remove the k-member. it looks like there are a couple of bolts down closer to the k-member. which ones should i remove?

When I did mine I took the bolt off at the steering rack and dropped the entire assembly.

when I did it I always removed the one at the steering gear. But before you do it make sure your wheel is locked and mark where the gear is when you took it apart that way you can put it back on exactly the same

if i understand it correctly, you both took the piece apart at or near the k-member. NOT the bolt at the firewall. i'll have to look at it a bit closer to see where all the bolts are on the k-member end.

thanks for the input.

You can do it either way. I just left the steering shaft on the car because the steering gear was going to be replaced with a manual rack.
