Engine pulling help needed

icey756 · 02-05-2012, 06:20 PM

Cause the picker i have is only able to lift half a ton. My resources are limited. i have to extend the arm all the way to get over the engine so thats why taking the trans with ISNT an option. Everything looks disconnected cause its about maybe 1/2 inch to an inch away from the trans. I read two or three forums that say to remove the clutch fork but i dont understand how that would even help. I tried getting the e clip off but its such a pita.

And if your talking about any of the 6 or 8 bolts that actually connect the bell housing tot he engine were easy. the ones behind the head took maybe 5 mines for the both of them
