^yea. if thats what its hitting it shouldnt be hard to take it out. if that doesnt work, get a manual from library or something and it should say how to replace it.

I have a chiltons and it dosn't say any thing about having to take any thing more off than I already have. the real problem is that the shaft that connects to the steering column keeps getting stuck. if I could flip the whole thing over then it would come right out

i also got new yokohama AVIA HS4S tires mounted on my 17" tenzo sinco R rims. much better grip and handelling than before over all the swap was not that bad just have to make sure that you can apply enough force to bolt down the tie rods
