everyone seems to think you need to pull the steering wheel and lift the body 3 ' in the air with 4 people. All you have to do is remove the floor panels, then remove the forward 2 steering box bolt's, loosen the upper rear one ( or the upper 2 bolt's and loosen the bottom one, it's been awhile since I've done it. ) and let the steering column and wheel lay on the floor of the tub and while lifting the tub move it towards the drivers side a little and fit the steering wheel through the floor pan opening. I've always done this with only two people. |
