hey guys, just checking before i get half way though pulling the k frame out of the bush basher,

from what i can see having had a look at the car, theres the 2 bolts at the bottom of the shock tower, the 2 bolts at the front of the chassis rail, and the 4 bolts each side of the up rights, shock bolts and last the steering knuckle

is this all that needs to be undone to drop the k frame out of the car?

Cheers Mitch

2 per side inside the engine bay physically mounted to the kframe.
1 each side into the chassis rail right near the lower control arm
1 each side at the front of the chassis rail, then the ones you said around the shocks/upper arms/steering

they hold the kframe to some L brackets, undo those.
you can undo the bolts that go through from the wheel arch instead, but they're normally stupidly tight.
