Hey guys my k frame is a little bit bent and i want to replace it with a new k frame but i have no idea on how to do it? All i do know is i need an engine crane to support the engine so it doesnt drop.
Was just wondering if anybody has ever replaced a k frame before or know any body who can do it willing to payy $$$!?
Its a holden commodore vs 97 model.

Z bars, steering rack, sway bar, lower control arms, engine mount bolts and as said above - 4 bolts holding it to the body.
