I had to remove the left brace (firewall to fender) and it came out over the fender. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
I think I got it out (and back in) from underneath, with the truck/frame jacked up and resting on high jack stands.
Do not forget to take out the "hidden bolt" that is underneath the box/frame (and often covered/hidden with caked-on grease/dirt).

I have it all loose ready to go. The hard part was getting the pitman arm puller on to pull the pitman. Had to use the smaller puller and had to remove some of the material from it to make it fit. 53 3100 root | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I believe the procedure is in the shop manual. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 339 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 339 | truckernix, I forgot about the manual, looked and it and sounds like you have to take the fender skirt loose and bend out of the way. Think I will try one of the top to reply's first. root | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 339 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 339 | Just removed the box and column out the top. Took off the brace, bent the fender skirt out of the way, slid the box inboard, rolled it over 180 deg. and out over the fender. thanks for the input, you guys are the best. root | | |
