K member removal help!

[Husker Cuda]

Getting ready to pull the K-member from my '74 'Cuda.  Does anyone know of a thread that already exists to help me through this without killing me or the car?

thanks!

I would look in the body shop area first I think.  I know there are some threads out there.  I did mine a couple months ago . .  pulled it, had it powder coated and then rebuilt it and reinstalled it!     Looks great!

Nothing too it really, while removing I ballanced on my floor jack but had a better idea for the install that I wish I had thought of for removeal. I made a framework out of 2X4s & bolted to it using the sway bar brackets, added a 2X4 rudder to stablize & tilt.

I assume the engine is out ? if so the only issue is the T bars which need to be un loaded first

[Husker Cuda]

Yep, the motor is out.  I'll look in the body shop area for info on how to unload the torsion bars.  That's about the only thing I wasn't sure about.

thanks to all!

Just take the load off the T bars & undo the nut on the LCA pivot , remove the clip behind the T bar & pry the Lca & T bar back together to remove the bars
