CAUTION: Do not use any flame or plasma cutting
equipment to cut the frame in this procedure. This
is due to the inaccurate nature of the cut-line and
the fact that the high temperatures achieved dur-
ing flame or plasma cutting will change the metal
characteristics and may weaken the frame and/or
repair location.

grinder or equivalent.
5. On the 4WD models, remove the bolts (1) and
remove the crossmember (2).
