Default Bravo XR/steering removal

Hey everyone,

I have searched high and low to get some solid answers and i keep coming up short on the most straight forward/uninstall-reinstall process for properly removing the hydraulic steering and then the drive without everything being thrown out of whack (if that makes sense)

I know both shifters need to be in neutral and steering straight, but where is the proper spot to start so the steering ram and the cross member for the drives go back in place easily. I have a sonic 31ss with AADS X-mod Phase 4 XR drives and dual ram and single ram IMCO steering.

Just looking to remove the port side drive. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just pull the bolt out of the steering rams where they go through the rear cap and swing them out of the way to remove the drive. There is no real trick and nothing gets out of whack.

F-2 Speedy Thanks guys, seems like when i did this two seasons ago, as soon as the tie bar bolt was out which also holds the inside steering ram in place, both drives went outward. Making the reinstall a PITA
