I had to take the bushing hold downs off of each side, used a long punch and a hammer to knock them loose from the frame. rotated the bar up and pried them off w/e a flathead screw driver.
That was easy.

The hardest part was sitting there forever putting those bolts back in w/ no room to work. I need a decent set of ratchet wrenches.

Made a Friday night and most of Saturday out of this project.

Replaced a rusty as **** and thinning oil pan
Oil and filter change to Amsoil Signature series
New Moog Balljoints
Bled Brake w/ Amsoil DOT 3
Installed ADDCO rear sway bar.


The oil pan replacement would've been cake had it not been for one damn bolt that broke off flush in the block. Had to drill a new hole and tap it and find a new bolt. What a pain in the ****.
Thankfully the inside of the block looked really clean and there was no sludge to be found there or in the old pan.

New BJ. Not a hard job pressing them in and out, but a pain in the ***. I'm glad my dad as an acetylene torch. The stock castle nuts were rusted as one to the BJ's.
