    I am trying to un-bolt the steering rack from the cradle but i cant pull the bolts out because the steering stabilizer bar is in
    the way. Any suggestions?

    I normally take the end links off of the sway bar so you can rotate it and this will give you enough room. I never had trouble with the passanger side bolt but the one on the drivers side almost always runs into the bar and I use a prybar to pry down on the bar and pull the bolt out.

    Yeah I figured it out after I posted. I just need to go through and disconnect all the lines before I drop the cradle today.
