Each time I've "pulled the engine and trans, I've lowered the car as much as possible with the wheels removed and unbolted the mounts with so it all sits on a dolly. Then raise the car and slide the mass out.
Harbor Freight has a motorcycle lift on sale. Has anyone used one of these for this process? If it could be rigged, it seems it would take a lot of work out of the jacking, and allignment issues. B |

Harbor Freight has this different unit for $179. The red one above is $100. I am thinking this may work well for a V8 if rails are put on it to hold the engine cross bar and you lengthen it to balance the trans. The pump action would be at the back and clear the car. Lightweight Aluminum Motorcycle Lift. The pad is 12 inches long so the open area is around 12 inches. Quickly perform routine maintenance the easy way. * 1500 lb. maximum lift capacity * 4-1/2" minimum, 19" maximum height (with extensions) * Lightweight 46 lbs. * Extra wide base for stability * Rubber grip pads protect motorcycle frame (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Bob Burton http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdi...submit2=find+it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
