Sure, I could use a little target practice. Those jehovah witnesses stopped coming around. Guess they finally got the message



Closest I've came to shootin anything from the sierra club have to be those folks over at green peace

 

On a serious note, I'm about to cut off the rest of this damn cast on my wrist. Makes it damn difficult trying to reach up and around to hit those tranny bolts.

But I did figure out how I'll be able to do it without a jack. Just sling up the tranny with a ratchet strap to the frame rails. Then take off the tcase, then just man handle the tranny off. Shouldn't be too difficult. Worked out rather well in the simulation in my mind

 

Now I just gotta find my ratchet straps

 

i take it this idea has come to fruition after another beerstorming session?
lol... good luck... still think it wluld be a good idea to have someone else there to help... just in case...

 

Lol naw. But that's a great idea. Think i'll start the beer storming process here shortly.

Though looky looky what I found while looking for my ratchet straps.



I didn't even know I owned a sawzall.

 

seriously tranny 100 pounds, t case 75 ship them all the time

 

where do you live in Southern Texas--Houston?

 

a T-case is 75#----that whole milk thing mom talked about was true then-and the spinach

 

San Antonio. And I've got strong bones. Just not a third of a ton of weight on my wrist strong lol.

 

I know, but I couldn't resist. The door was open!!!! Any ways, you get it out yet? The rachet straps sounded like a good idea.

And don't you remember borrowing my sawsall?.....lol

 

Haha. MINE!


Nah, said forget about it for today. In a pissed off mood. Right now wrenches serve me better by being thrown around than undoing bolts and nuts.

 

Boy do I know those days.....yeah, it's best not to take it out on the truck, only costs more later.....lol

 

True. Had to resist the urge to use that newly found sawsall...

 

You didn't......your neighbor did, though.

 

Lol my neighbors aint none too fond of me, probably wouldn't loan me a cup of sugar let alone a sawsall

 

Who said anything about loaning?

 

I'd put a single jackstand under the tranny to hold it up. If you can find a jackstand tall enough. Maybe a bar stool?

Seriously, a trans isn't that heavy with the xfer case removed. A 150# small guy can get those things in and out.

 

hmm... just dont let it slip and crush your windpipe...
i imagine that would make the girfriend very unhappy...
good luck...

 

To work on the yota, or not to work on the yota. That is the question.

Man, the motivation is just not here today...

 

yea thats how i did it, cherry picker. through the pass door chains through the shifter hole and bolted onto where the shifters are (after you remove the shifters) it held, and i could swing the tranny anyway i wanted.
