ok, so i decided to ditch my old 7afte set up and go 3sgte. i am in the middle of pulling the engine. all that is left is 2 bolts to the trans, the motor mounts, starter and power steering. whats the best way to pull the power steering because i am having some trouble with getting it out and its slowing me down a little.

Good luck man, take ur time. Research, research, research.
For the power steering, just unbolt the hoses that are connected to the pump. Make sure all the hoses, wires, cables, and grounds are disconected before lift off. Once you start to lift it out of the bay have someone keep and eye out for something you might have missed. Its really easy, you'll see. 
--------------------  I will return one day. |
