6 bolts on the k, 3 per side. 1 is in front of the lower a arm, one you get through it, and one is behind it. 4 nuts on top of the shock towers, 4 bolts as well (torx head on driver side, undo master cylinder if you need access, another 2 nuts). One 11mm bolt on steering column, no need to remove rack. Support the k with a jack or 2 stands and then a stand for each lower a arm. Pull all your wiring, pull the ds, pull the torque arm, and disconnect brake lines for the front from the abs block. Rad hoses and exhaust should pretty much cover it. Lift car up and smile. Having a strut tower brace is nice because you can basically use it to support the k assembly and drive the motor and trans around. A dolly for the trans helps too and you can even put a dolly under either front tire to get real crazy!!!
