Were it me, I'd leave the idler attached to the front end, and unbolt it from the body. If you have a puller though, I'd pull the pitnam arm off the steering box and pull the box separately. Ideally, pull the box and intire column to the sterring wheel, as I think the steering column safety breakdown is a better design in the '68.

Since the '68 is a parts car, just cut them brake lines on the body side of any connections. Then you can crimp them over to keep dirt from getting in parts you might want to use down the road.

Pretty much just a case of turning bolts, and I've never had a problem with the cross-member bolts. They are big and tight, but always seem to turn.

as always, be careful under there!
