need help w/ k-member
aright here's the deal I'm trying to get my oil pan out so I decided to drop the k-member a couple of inches and didn't relize how many bolts where holding the thing up my ? is do I have to disconnect those 2 bolts on each side that connect to the lower control arms to lower it???

I've only got a couple of more to take off before those are the only ones left holding it on, from what I can see. I'll check back here in a little while I'm kind of surprise at how long this job has taken me if anyone has any tips or short cuts please feel free to share. thanks

First off, you might get more replies if you used a "period" or two. It's sort of hard to read a run-on paragraph and it may discourage a few members from replying!
I did the same thing a few months ago. You'll take out the 6 bolts that hold the K-member to the chassis. However, you should LEAVE the four bolts (two on each side) that hold the lower a-arms to the k-member. If you remove them, you'll have to have the car re-aligned.
Also, you should notice that when you have the 6 bolts out, the k-member will not drop much, if any. I actually had to "pull" on mine to get it to drop far enough to get the pan out.
Notice: I've got the PA racing K-member so this might be different for the stocker.
