foothilltom 33 Report post Posted March 27, 2010 Howdy again, Am now brain-locked on how to remove the clutch Z-Bar. This is a 351W with long tube headers that provide no room whatsoever and the Z-Bar runs right through the header tubes. Am wondering if it's necessary to remove the steering box to remove the Z-Bar (allowing you to pull it up and out from the top). Or, should I be able to finesse the Z-Bar out w/out removing the steering box? Everything seems so jammed together. My master plan is to replace the brake power booster, swap the rusted long tube headers for ceramic shorties, drop the tranny for a clutch and tranny rebuild. I'm just trying to get everything apart so I can do all that. Am stuck in a catch-22 with this Z-Bar. If anybody has input on order of events, I'd appreciate it. I feel like everything is all inter-twined with no room to move. Thanks. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are located to the rear of the Z bar on topside of the framerail. Done best by feel from underneath of the car. This will allow you to remove the Z bar after the linkage is disconnected.
