Speed engine drop Options

[1bad914]

I'm pulling a 2.0 out of a trashed 76 914. I have everything disconnected accept the cv bolts, these are the toughest I've ever tried, I've used every trick I know and still can't get one to budge. The car is litterally folding in half, any ideas for dropping the motor with out have to loosen the cv bolts, if I can get it out I can get some leverage and get them out. The car is so bad that when I reef on the bolts the whole car flexes. I thought about cutiing the rear end of the car off and flipping it over, I even tried to cut the axle, no go! Those things are hard!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) Also, what is the size of the axle nut?

I had a car just like that, in fact once I got it off the trailer, I had half a car, just the rear end, the rest was outside after it collapsed coming off the trailer (I had to cut it in half because it collapsed coming off the trailer)

I jacked up one side, cut the ears off both sides of the "frame" and did the shock bolts, cut the motor mounts both front and rear (rear was right through the top of the trunk floor, just cut the whole section out.

Then my son and I lifted the "car" off the motor which was on the floor.

Not a big deal really, kinda a fun way of doing it!!!
