Its pretty easy, disconect any hard lines to the brakes. I'd disconect the idler and steering arm, then just unbolt them from the body. Once everything is disconected, jack everything up. Support the body with jack stands, unbolt the 4 cross member bolts and lower it with the floor jack. Much easier if the motor is already out, but I did one with the motor in. Took a sawzall and cut the front end clean off the fire wall and dropped everything, then seperated the motor from the front end.
