I was hoping that someone would come up with a better approach; unfortunately not

...you'd have to dropped the Rack&Pinion KAHruzer, to fully gain access on them mounting brackets. We have a DIY (by yours truly) in place; removal and installation,
And NO you do not need to support the engine/tranny weight once the crossmember is removed.
PM me if you'd need further assistance on this... you can save tons of money by doing this yourself
