Pulling front 3rd

What is the easiest way to get the front pig out?

I just glanced under there, and it looks like the crossmember is in the way...  What is the easiest way to get her out... I will eventually get myself down and grab a chiltons... but you guys know all the short cuts!

The front is the worst one, you got to drop
the axle housing, which means taking the
front CVs apart and loostening the struts
and brakes, not bad, just lots of stuff in the
way, the front center link might get in the
way too.

That is what it looked like.... oh well, not a biggie, all the front end stuff should loosen easily, I just had it all off for the lift.


Guess I will deal with the CV's when I get to them.. would be a good time to replace them I guess... or at least make sure they are nice and tight..


Guess, I better go get a manual.. at least I have a lift available for this swap... whew.. didn't feel like doing THAT on the driveway...

Thanks WG..
