Default HELP Header Install Issue

Currently in the middle of my longtube install. When disconnecting the steering shaft, does it disconnect via the bottom 2 bolts..or the single top bolt?

These SLP instructions should help you, they have good pictures.

Two top bolts on the pinion to move it forward and then the single bolt on the bottom of the shaft (clamp) to slide the shaft out of the way.

Yeah I finally got it finished up last night. The install is not too bad as long as you remove the steering shaft and the motor mounts/starter assembly on each sides. 8 hours, 2 people, a ton of cussing, and 4 bloody hands...couldn't be happier

Ohh so you now have LT's with Hot Rods? The sound of your car due to the hot rods already gave me wood. LT + hot rods = mega wood. LOL.
