All I'm tryin to do is get this rolling frame junked enough to haul to the yard. Drain and remove the front diff, drain V6 and will plazma most the pan off, but I thought I'd keep the auto and transfer.
FIRST, the front dam' axle is bolted to a bunch of brackets, bolted to the ENGINE. Getting the starter off was bad enough.
Then there's the starter STUD, why do we need a STUD instead of a bolt? You cannot get the dust cover off without either removing the stud (difficult) or just bend up the dust cover? (easier)
BUT THEN with that apart, I Still cannot get to the converter bolts, so I said "screw it" and decided to yank the auto right off the rear of the converter. THE TRANS will not come off because the Y PIPE is in the road. THAT is where I left it tonight. Tomorrow I'll torch the stupid head pipes off.
And don't forget, you are forever trying to decide if you are dealing with metric or US bolts
Sell this stuff? These lazy jerks don't want anything unless it's free. Some jerk off up N of Bonners offered me FORTY FIVE DOLLARS for the "rolling frame" with engine and trans.
