I'm in the middle of tearing down the engine right now for a rebuild...
yesterday I unmounted the compressor, alternator, PS pump...drained all fluids, disattached almost all of the wiring (except some from the bottom.) dropped the X pipe etc.
Next up me and a buddy who has an engine hoist are yanking the engine and tranny (tranny is getting replaced)...
We attempted to lift the engine before but failed to break any of the bell housing bolts...we didn't put too much time into it because we weren't really too commited to the job...
we couldn't even break loose the drive shaft bolts (using air tools)...
Any tips for this? He proposed dropping the K member to lower the engine and tranny out as one piece but I'm not a fan of the idea...
