what gringo said. Clean off the lip on the steering/bump stop. You will see a number of spot welds. Center punch the spot weld, drill it out, then take a hammer and chisel to between the arm and bump stop to pry it up. They come off real easy.

Just a question,... I understand removing the "bumpstop",... but why remove the steering stop?
