Looking for experienced opinions on removing k-member.

@ProjectBazza, you do not need to remove the K member to do a complete front suspension rebuild. I have done it on an A Body several times.
I agree harrisonm. I would not remove the K member just to rebuild the suspension. Even painting it can be done in the car. If you are swapping out the motor size (6cll,A, B or RB bock), then yes. Paint, repair and reinstall. I think any "A" body manual (67 and up) would work on the basis of R & R. The parts list will be different depending on the year or applications. Example: Disc or drum brakes, 9 inch or 10 inch. Manual or power steering. Sway bar or not.
