5. On the driver side, locate the ABS wires that run along
the radius arm, now unclip the wire from its mount and pop
the mount out from the arm. This step is performed in order
to get enough slack in the wires to lower the front axle.
Repeat on the passenger side.
6. Lower down the front axle enough that both front coil
springs can be removed from the vehicle. Special Note:
Save the OE rubber coil spring isolator for re-installa-
tion.
7. Working on the passenger side where the steering sta-
bilizer is attached to the frame bracket, remove the bolt and
let the shock hang from the drag link.
8. Working at the steering box, remove the cotter pin, nut
retainer, and the nut from the drag link’s tie rod end. Save
this hardware for later installation.
9. Using a proper tie rod removal tool and/or a hammer, hit
the end of the pitman arm to break the taper and remove
the tie rod end from the pitman arm.
