"Baby.. It is a 20 minutes job, tops... That is if I run into an issue or two"

She use to believe that.... Not I get in return:

"Alright.. I'll see you in a few hours."


She is a smart woman.. I still haven't figured out that NOTHING takes 20 minutes, she has.

Glad to see you got it figured out though!

Had this same issue a few times myself, tube got bent from pulling trans in and out so many times. Then got smart and bought a lokar

My girlfriend is unfortunately starting to learn that too! haha

Where did you end up mounting your lokar? Do you have a picture?
I bought one, but the only places I could mount mine would have made it extremely inconvenient for...well just about anything I guess.

I can’t remember what all I had to unhook but I took the 6 bolts out of the k-member and lifted the car up off the k-member about six inches. You can put the new tube in and get to the bolt on the back of the head no problem. Sounds like a lot of work but it took me about 5 hours. It is a mother f$$ker to try and do in place.
