Re: Gonna try BF wrench (I have no air) and make a plat Posted by mag [Email] (#1906) [Profile/Gallery] (more from mag) on Thu, 8 May 2003 17:37:29 In Reply to: Gonna try BF wrench (I have no air) and make a plate, Jeff H, Thu, 8 May 2003 03:26:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If you take the hand tool and girlfriend approach:
Set the unit on the ground, Put the wrench/socket on the nut so the bar is horizontal and push down only enough to see how the tranny wants to pivot. Then consider blocking with 2x4s or 4x4s at the differential end - you are making a secure fulcrum there.
Then don't use your girlfriend. Use your ex wife or a moose of a neighbor and have them sit on the top of the gearbox at the input end and the driver's side. The consequences of suggesting that your girlfriend is massy enough to hold this all stead are just too horrible to contemplate!
Then use a long bar with steady pressure. It'll give without having to bounce anything.
