You'll have to take the colum loose on the inside to get the right angle to remove it.

Why would you need to take out/loosen the tranny crossmember if you're taking the transmission out, too?? :confused:

And from what I remember, there's only 4 bolts holding the subframe to the body. :confused:

There are actually 8 lower bolts, 4 on each side. A total of 14 (4 lower, 3 supper) bolts will let it drop right out as long as you've got all of the previous stuff taken care of.

It's amazing how little holds the front end of these pigs on. :eek:
