If I remember correctly. Unbolt the nut for steering wheel then slide the shaft out of the steering column. Then you should be able to slide the rubber boot off. Neat looking project.

i put hydraulics on the a few years back. i think the rear upper shock mounts are bent downward. what do you guys think? if so should i cut them off and make fabricate something in its place or heat them up and try to bend them back...I just noticed it and to think I was so close to sending the frame off for powder coat and now this came up
I keep searching for any info on mount the e-level sensors and haven't found anything.... I am at the point now in the install and will start playing with it soon..
