... removing engine...difficulty separating it from trans...
OK, so I am pulling the engine out to inspect the bottom end.
Starter is off
Connector between engine, trans and diff is off.
Bottom structural cover between engine and bell housing is off.
Engine mount bolts are removed.
all of the bolts around the bell housing are double checked to be removed.
.... how the hell does this thing come away from the transmission? I have the slings on it and it is cradled in the hoist.
I have a jack under the front of the trans so I can move it up or down a little. I have not dropped the rear driveshaft or trans or anything like that. Does the trans need to come at all?
Do I have to remove the 4/6 (not sure how many) that are visible on the flexplate where I removed the structural cover?
I am just not sure how to get the pair apart. I need a bit of a play by play..
I might have a helper later today but as I am solo this morning, it seems like a good idea to ask those who have done it..
thanks,
Kevin
