I have pulled and installed motors by simply removing the entire eng/tranny
combo including the axles. (Lazy way to do it but hey.) Just gotta be
careful in how you treat the axles as the whole comes up. You'll need a
cherry picker with one of them engine tilter tools on it. Its not neccessary
but helps emencely. Just remember to be sure that everything is
disconnected. I missed the tube for the brakes and it cost me $60 to
replace! (Damn form fitted plastic unflexable tubes!)
