Looking for some advise on dropping eng/trans in a car that is soft in the middle. For obvious reasons I don't like the thought of having any part of me under it. Here is what I was thinking, I might lift the back, Jack stand and wood block every hard point. This would give me some safety...at least to some degree while I made all of the enderside disconnects.
Then I thought I would remove the rear wheels, slide a pallet under and then drop the car down over the pallet and remove the entire package including suspension and trailing arms. I figured that I could also cut it out from the top if needed, as the body is gone. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks folks! |
