Got more DIY questions...
Bruce and I have the tranny out of the 1.7 but we need to order more parts before we reinstall everything. Right now the tail is up very high on jackstands and we have a few blocks of wood bracing the back of the motor. It seems as though the motor won't stay in place without the blocks; is that correct? We want to bolt the rear tires back on and roll the bar a few feet back so we can work on the front brakes. Can we do this sans transmission and with only motormounts holding the engine in? Thanks, "the real Dave" |

The rear of the motor has to have support, you'll end up breaking or bending something if you let the motor pivot on the motormounts only.
Get a heavy rope or chain and support the rear of the motor from the TOP of the engine compartment with lets say a 4x4 layed across the top of the engine compartment. |
