K member question need help quick I was under the impression that you would be able to jack the trans/engine up enough to remove the pan, obviously not the case.
What is the easiest way to drop the k member. Remove the tires and support the engine/trans by a jack and lower the k member?
A quick rundown would be greatly appreciated. I've seen people say just remove the 6 bolts, what 6 bolts? Need some assistance quick. Also the fitting for my drain line is I believe a 3/8 - 18NPT so I got the tap and the 9/16 drill bit to go along with it.

All right, well I found the 6 bolts and lowered it down, but its still not low enough to get the pan out in conjunction with jacking up the motor and trans. What the hell?

I finally just unbolted the hole thing and the only thing that is holding it is the ps lines now. I gave up. I'll be able to get some painting done now. Just going to paint it gloss black since no one carries a green close to my color that I could find.
We swapped a rod & piston in a 99 SS with the engine still in the car where I work. We removed the intake & coils and then lifted it up and supported it with an ingine support we have that sits on the front aprons (inner fenders) & chains to the motor.
