Good advice. Thanks. BobBob, I may be making assumptions here but from images of the cross member removal I've found elsewhere on the forum, it appears that it is spot welded to the longitudal chassis arms. If so, and I mention this as you may not have come across these before, but you will need a special spot weld drill bit. Unlike the conventional drill bits, this has a flattened end and a little point on the end to prevent the drill from wandering. I have one and they work a treat.
