I have everything except my K-member bolts removed to get my engine out. Right now, the car is sitting on four steel rims and is perfectly flat. Do I need to hook up my cherry picker to the K-member before I remove the bolts? I am assuming I can remove these bolts safely without anything shifting, drop the car down, and lift up the frame? I am concerned about the safety issues involved in removing the K-member bolts while I'm under the car.

If it makes you feel safer, support it. Though, I don't remember doing anything special with mine. I either just had a floor jack under the k-member while the front of the body was up in the air or I took the bolts out while the front wheels were sitting on my ramps (same as yours would be sitting on the wheels). Disclaimer: If you die, it is not my fault.

haha, gotcha. That is what I got from the engine removal steps another member sent me and from all of the other posts I've read. They all seemed abbreviated and dumbed down so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid. Thanks

Toss a little jack under it but make sure you will be able to get the jack out once you lower the K from the car.

If it makes you feel better to have a complete step by step instruction set, pm me with your e-mail address and I'll send you the engine removal pdf that was on the michigan speed website. Very good complete article.
