your going to have to support the motor and then take all the suspension goodies off, then the k member, then put all the suspension back on. should just bolt up

the picture on that site shows you what goes where really.
The washer should fit snug around the bolt .

just finished doing my gr-40 and really it is just that easy. Get the car at least 18 inches off the ground. It is as basic as the other guys said but here is a good tip if doing your K-member, plumb it first meaning hang the plumb bobs first and take measurements that way you will have reference pts as to what square is. very important to be square to the chassis when setting up your suspension that way you can get the max out of it. Its funny that guy recommended Griggs because they are merging. So if you called them Im sure they could point you in the right direction. But I called them all (Griggs, Maier, MM). Jack Hidley at Max. Mtrsprts is an excellent source. It really is just that easy though.
