Subject:Remove front suspension etc. as unit?

Hi all.

A quick search of archive didn't show what I need to know.

I will crack as many fasteners loose as I can while front
suspension/rack is still in.

Can I remove the lower wishbone/calipers/steering rack/radius/knucles as a unit?

i.e. for one side at a time, put a jack under lower arm, remove bolts
for upper/lower arms, rack etc. seperate upper arm from upper ball
joint, remove springs/shocks and drop lower parts as a unit?

That way I could either sell as is, or if/when time comes (and it all
fits!) install the unit in my 81.

Thanks for any direction. It would save time right now.

Neil.
