Should you be able to pull them in car w/o removing the frt. Susp. ?

you can remove/install the bars without removing the a-arms, but you need to put your car on jackstands in front because w/o the bars nothing is holding it up. Bilstein struts have a built-in set point unlike boge, but I don't know if it is enough tp hold up the car.

Sorry I should have commented that having on stands is a given.
Got my frnt end in the LE yesterday but looking at it this morn the T bars are in backward chair.gif headbang.gif slap.gif
So just trying to pull to ensure correct orinatation. (L/R)

They dont want to move. I guess simply backing off all the mounting bolts
isnt enough sad.gif

Back out the mounting bolts, pull off the front caps, and bash them out
A BFH is your friend

huh... with the adj screw out the and the adj arm in a neutral position the bar should pull it out. kinda late, if you want to spring for the caps/discs in the front of the arms you can drive them out from the front as a last case.

That depends on how long they have been there
Mine (unchanged since new and somewhat rusted in) took a little pursuasion to get them out

No hammer is necessary mad.gif
This is freshly rebuilt clean and greased.
Simply they dont want to come out while mounted.

Are you sure that all of the tension has been released?
Adjusters out, caps off, they should release pretty easily
