Does anyone know if the SL500 crossmember is bolted or welded to the frame? What's the procedure to replace? schematics? thanks in advance.

 

front (i assume) cross member is welded.

i have the whole working procedure, but at 20 pages, it is difficult for me to copy, edit, and post.

it will take time.

 

the heck with 20 pages... just point it to me and i will send you the instructions anyway.
