K frame removal

K frame removal
I am replacing a 2006 350z lower front control arm that is bolted through the k-frame- I assume I must drop the k-frame to remove cracked in half front lower rear control arm. Does the k-frame simply unbolt and drop to ground and then installed in reverse, I want to make sure no engine or other support is required.

Exactly! Trying to replace the passenger control arm as shown too- my interpretation is that the k-frame needs to be dropped- what are you referring to as "compression arms" - this is a in my driveway now- is the control arm going to be the SOB or is the k-frame going to be the SOB?

Is it a brut force move or is there a tool to facilitate getting the **** off? I got big flat head and a hammer, most all other nuts and bolts have required the application of a breaker bar. I just need to do the drivers side on the frame then arm time.

I used an impact in all the bolts, if you break one of those pins its game over for your car.
If your sleeve is melded itself to the pin its a matter of cutting the slee
ve off. I used a 3 jaw puller and it worked out well.

Thanks so much! Reassembly commences tonight-old arm off- new arm on and one nut holding up frame. I cracked the the spindle in half so there was plenty of room to remove/wiggle arm off.

Rim took the brunt- bent strut - spindle snapped at upper control arm, sway bar end link busted, busted brake line - need new rim, fender and door and I will have recovered from this misfortune.
