89_trailboss Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) yup, remove the three nuts. then pry the anchor off with a screwdriver *EDIT* watch out, once the achor slids back enough the Tbar will drop and hit you in the head :oops: Edited May 19, 2006 by 89_trailboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Loosen up the 3 bolts on the front a little, then do some tapping on the bars.... they should almost fall out.... If your putting these ones back in, make sure you mark them Left and Right... Also mark them for indexing to get them back in almost the same spots....

Precise1 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yes, loosen the front 3 bolts. My T-bars were bound until I did that, then they fell out as Casey said. Be forwarned... No need to remove the front piece unless things are rusted together. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airrun2002 Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 does anyone know whether you have to take out the starter to get to the torque converter bolts? and what do new cv axles run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Since I have a manual I cannot say for sure, but I would venture to say that the bolt pattern for the mating surface is the same (or close) between the two and in that case... yes, because the starter bolts (on a manual) go through the tranny case, the tranny bracket bolted to the side of the engine and thread into the starter case. According to PartsAmerica.com and RockAuto.com, about $100 +core and up Edited May 19, 2006 by RedPath88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Do you have to lift the front of the truck off the ground to remove or torq the Tbars? To remove, yes, unless you want the front end to sag down to the upper travel limits of the a arms (don't try it). To torque, no.... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Having the front end in the air will make it easier to remove and to crank them down..... After adjusting them you will have to move the Pathy to see where your final adjustments landed you on height and if your level.... may take a couple of tries to get it perfect..... Or when you take it in for the alignment have them level it out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
