RE: K Frame Removal

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you are very close to getting it out.

The torsion bars must come out.  Gary H. gave you a link, I didn't 
follow it but basically two hardwood blocks bolted over the torsion bar 
make a good tool to hammer the bars back.  The adjusters must be fully 
backed out and no tension on the bars.

If the torsion bars are out and the steering shaft dosconnected you 
should be able to drop the K member down and back and let the strut bars 
drop out of the frame.  

Good Luck
Dennis C.
