Dropping the Slant

Good work. I also wonder why people fuss so much in getting T-bars out. No special tools needed. I just pry the LCA back with a crowbar, whack it forward while pulling the T-bar back, and repeat. Usually pops out after 2 times. The only thing holding it in the LCA is old grease. Of course, unload it fully and remove the rear clip first. However, from photos of Canadian and European cars, I can see where they could be rusted together.

Thanks. I missed a lot of little...and important details in my write up. T-bar rear clips...trans cross member. Oops! Oh well, once you crawl under your car and carefully "take it all in" before beginning to turn wrenches, it's easy to see what needs to be unbuckled. Just remember, safety first! Especially when lying under 3k pounds of old car.
