Apologies on the late reply, but thank you I wish I could encourage more youth to take matters into their own hands and truly appreciate their vehicles as I do. Much appreciated as well.

[@kennethatteberry6757]

Great video kid. I like the initiative you show. Small tip from a pro... when disconnecting the tie rod, strike the flat spot on the spindle with the hammer. Thats why its there. It will allow you to disconnect the tie rod easier than it was by striking the castle nut, and it also enables you to reuse the tie rod without risking damage to the stud, the threads, or the castle nut. The same trick works for ball joints as well. If you need further clarification please feel free to PM me. Im always happy to help a young gear head with their learning curve. Keep wrenching and doing such great videos. Good job man.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Hey thank you for the support I appreciate the tips and tricks as well! I’ll definitely be looking forward to future tips thank you sir!!

[@sethbrown5856]

An old guy taught me that trick at the junkyard one time. He saw me and my buddy struggling with the tie rod and came over to lend us a hand.

[@Thatlowdsg]

@sethbrown5856 wish more folks were like that, a little courtesy goes a long ways.

[@jimandnena4]

Hello Thatlowdsg, I am helping with a K member on a Bullit, never done one before. Your video was very well done. One tip, loosen both control arm bolts and the control arm will swing down easily. Then take the front bolt completely out. Remove the nut from the rear bolt and the arm can be lifted enough to remove the rear bolt. Your mechanical skills combined with excellent videos are a great help. Keep going. AbueloJim

[@Thatlowdsg]

Jim thank you for the support and feedback, I appreciate it and hope the tackling the Bullitts K member is a successful one! I will use these tricks in the future as well

[@joshuahiggins5313]

Great video I appreciate it. One question… well maybe a few you removed all of that cuz your installing a new K member and new parts? So, I’m just trying to install long tubes and would like to keep as much of the things I can have attached to the K member like the A-arms, and power steering rack and like you just station it forward near the front of the radiator with the lines attached hopefully they can reach pretty far or far enough it doesn’t get in the way of space. So I do I have to remove it all to install the headers cuz most of that stuff is attached to the K-member except the frame bolts and motor mounts or engine mounts and etc? Any advice would be appreciated. Thinking of tackling this project this Saturday- Tuesday

[@Thatlowdsg]

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for watching I’d say just soak the remaining bolts in pb blaster overnight, and if you just doing the pan gasket you don’t even need to fully drop it you can drop it enough to get the pan down and replace the gasket. I hope the vid and comment can help!

Put in work without an impact gun Good shii bro iknow you a master using power tools

[@Fishy_FR]

If I was only doing this only to remove and reseal the oil pan gasket, would you recommend dropping the K member all the way for extra clearance? I mean, how much harder would it be to drop it completely as opposed to lowering it? Great video btw, extremely detailed and informative!

[@Thatlowdsg]

I appreciate it but if you’re just doing that reseal follow this video as proceeds. Then once you have the K member completely loose just lower it with a jack slowly till you can get to the seal (break the bolts first while the K member is secure) but that should be it

[@Fishy_FR]

@@Thatlowdsg Sounds good, I'll give an update when I'm through. I should also mention I'm doing this on a V6, but everything looks basically the same. Thanks for the quick reply

[@Thatlowdsg]

Yes I should’ve mentioned it’s the same setup on the v6 maybe just different size bolts on the motor mounts but Goodluck anymore questions feel free to ask.

[@BongKings420]

@thatlowdsg If I just need to get the Oil pan off. How far into this guide and taking everything apart do you have to get before you can just wiggle the pan out? Or do you basically have to drop the whole thing all the way still?

[@Thatlowdsg]

If your just doing an oil pan seal you can leave the control arms on leaving the shocks still connected to the knuckle but not the camber plates. And Loosen the K member as I showed allowing you to get to the oil pan bolts, but if your doing something major under there you might have to drop it all the way

Technically you don’t need to remove the control arms if you’re going tubular k member + arms. But for now im using my stock arms so I took them off. You could drop it all as one unit!

[@tonydanza1581]

If you have a battery and or an air gun, and are trying to get bolts to fall through take an open end wrench and put it behind the built in washer and then hit the gun in reverse

[@SteamTrain2639]

Hi, im wondering if you could help me out. I have a 2001 mustang gt and im having a loose steering issue. its very exaggerated at highway speeds, where it feels like the center of the wheel has play. almost like im driving on ice. so far ive replaced the steering shaft with a maximum motorsports solid one, replaced the rack and pinion (with new inner and outer tie rods) lower control arm ball joints, and front tires. Ive also added lowering springs with caster camber plates. still cant get rid of the sloppy feeling :/ not sure where else to go now.

[@Thatlowdsg]

Hello steam train my apologies for seeing this late. With everything you described it would be my honest opinion to take it to a certified tech or an alignment shop that allows aftermarket/ specializes in aftermarket alignments. I have a video coming out shortly going over my loose steering too.. Sorry mate hope you best of luck too.

[@JOSEHernandez-wd9nv]

Did you have to disconnect any specific lines??? Needing to drop my k member but im trying to do my research onto doing so first. Just not wanting to lower it and i miss a line or something i wasnt aware about.

[@Thatlowdsg]

No lines need disconnecting, brakes or power steering.

[@wolffmanjack4743]

I’m about to drop my k member to fix an exhaust leak and put some nice shorties on it vs these crappily welded long tubes someone threw on. I will say this, a ball joint press is only 15$ and saved me almost half an hour of time. Knuckle and tie rod end were the worst.

I bought one too for a Chevy Blazer I was working on at the time, Its worth the $. I like my bbk shorties, they sound good and perform good, nothing crazy tho.

[@Thatlowdsg]

No, you could keep the steering rack bolted to the K member however you’ll need to disconnect it from the steering shaft. Also have to consider the lines going into the rack so you’d have to be careful not to damage those.

You had the engine on a hoist? While you were doing it?

Yes you need a brace or something supporting the engine when you do this job. Because the K member and motor mounts keep your motor in place / support the engine so if you replace your K member or remove it you need an engine hoist or some sort of cross brace like I used!

What is holding the engine

[@Thatlowdsg]

Its called a engine hoist, you can find them online I bought a Pittsburgh one of Harbor freight but I couldn’t find the link to it anymore. Could also be called a top mount engine harness/ rig/ hoist. Hope this will be of use

For anyone else following this be careful putting your jack on the flat part of the crossmember the Jack has a tendency to slip off if you're not careful

[@Thatlowdsg]

Completely agree. Safety is priority!

This is the reason I’m watching. I jacked it up the same way he did this morning. It fell right on the oil pan. Crushed it. Gotta do the oil pan now 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

For you people that their car is not as clean as his is, cut your control arm bolts out. Lots of times they don't come out as easy as his did. Make sure you order the bolts as you just can't find them at any auto parts store. CJ Ponys and LMR have them. A ball joint stud tool and a tie rod stud tool will make removing them easier too. Oh get the spring back in is made a lot easier with a maximum motorsports front spring installation tool.

Thank you for some tips for others.

Doesnt seem hard at all but looks time consuming bro you need to get a impact gun you could of zapped all those bolts and nuts without breaking a sweat

[@Thatlowdsg]

It is time consuming, patience is a virtue for sure. I have a impact just never use it for the video sake.. i will next video tho lol

[@bigdaddysshop8180]

I'd buy you a impact if you do mine

Lol I’ve got my own impact but it definitely would make it easier!!
