I've priced a cross-member but I was wondering if it is a big job to replace it myself? Has anyone done this before, am I going to be getting a lot of hassle? If anyone could give a step by step process of how to do it and all photos appreciated.

Thanks a mill

Thanks but I already have seen this thread, I didn't find it particularly useful as there are no specific step by step details about how to replace the crossmember. The photos are pretty good I'd like some details to go with them about what you should be doing at each step especially personal experiences with replacing them. All info appreciated

Take off all the bits till you get to the ones in the pics, then put back on unrusty bits till it looks like what you started with again, minus the rust. Bolt what was bolted and weld what was welded. It's not hard, just time-consuming. Well, assuming you can weld, that is. And have a welder..
