When Taking off your front cross complete with brakes and suspension
what technique do you use when lowering it down so that it does not rotate and fall off the jack?
Cross member removal
Cross member removal
Hi Jay,
removing the crossmember is a precarious job,you need to balance the unit on the jack but have the centre behind the main crossmember to achive a safe lowering to the floor or stands.
Also you will find that the top wishbone fulcrum pin bush housings will hit on the chassis rail as that is wider than the c/member when they are fitted.
You will need to jiggle one side clear and lower it to enable the other side to come down.
Then lower away to the ground etc.

Hi Jay, I made up a cradle to hold the cross member for easy removel and fitment. Need to take out the shocks though. Made it very easy when it came time to put it back in the car.
