I believe you should have 10...I have 12. Which is odd for a 2000. Guess I'm late model year 2000.

Once you get everything disassembled and prepped, you loose one side's body mounts, but you don't remove the bolts. Just enough to let the body pivot. Then you go to the other side, and take those body mount bolts out. Then I used a foot-long section of 4x4 wood post with my floor jack, and just lift up the body. It will seperate from the frame, and you lift it up just barely enough to slide the lift puck in.

Then you put those bolts back in (don't tighten them), go back to the other side, repeat. This time you locktite the bolts and torque down. Go back to first side, remove bolts, locktite, replace.

Done



Aside from that pesky 'reassembly' thing!

Not sure if you need a Torx bit. 98+ sure don't, but if you do need a Torx bit to get the bumper off, Sears has a nice set, or you can go cheap and go to Harbor frieght/Farm and fleet/Northern Tool and pick up a set.

Oh yeah you definately need two different torx bits. I had that problem, I got one that fit the rear, went back to a friends garage and realized that the front is a different size. So I ended up going back to Ace Hardware and getting the other bit.
