they way I did mine was to use an engine hoist to lift the engine, loosen the k member and just slide it out. I am not sure if you would have to completely remove the stock k memeber because the tublar one I have is alot less bulkey.

OP, sounds like you might as well get a new kmember if you don't already have one. Why go through all the work just to fix it, and not throw in a mod while its out.

defconfire, I love that sig. That is one mean ass looking stance you got going. What rim and wheel combo do you have?

Thanks at the time I had Cobra-R replicas for the track with BFG race R1's 275 up front and 315 in the rear. Now I use the same size bullitt's wrapped ine eagle F1's (I think they look prettyer)
