engine 99% pulled, need help

[x1genx]

pull the axles if you havent, i cant figure out if you have or not.....and then check that bolt that enes was talking about.....drop the transmission with someone underneath it to guide it down....pull the motor...just becareful of the flywheel/clutch and the dust shield...thats what i last did. It worked out well. I only had the car on jack stands as well...maybe 10 inches off the ground.....just make sure everything is free of everything before you start yanking.

I haven't pulled the axles yet as that is what we were trying to avoid. If I were to pull the axles however, why would I not want to pull everything up as one like everyone else suggests to do?

That's the point. Get the axles out of there since it takes all of an extra 5 mins to do and yank it all out as one.

if you are doing just a clutch job, you can just drop the whole tranny and work from there; you can slightly disconnect the tranny from the engine just enought so you can get access to the clutch and go from there (lazy man's job) ; or all together remove the engine+tranny out.

the last one will make life easier.
plus if you don't want to disconnect the axles, and if you are doing a clutch job, it would be nice to have fresh syncromesh in there too.

good luck.
