Pop your head under the car and undo the bushes, pop off swaybar. Wheel doesn't need to be taken off but it helps.

That's how it's done with me KE anyway and there's not much difference between the two.

doesnt work in reality ,thats what it says in the manual ,but it just wont fit because of the cross member,adv from wreckers was that you need to drop it 2inches but that aloso means taking the steering off ,any shortcuts needed

Must be different between models, then. Can't say i've done it in the KF/KH series but i've never heard of anyone dropping the crossmember to do it!

Post on www.fordlaser.com for some answers.
