W250 engine install woes

Whole transfer case part kinda made it seem easier to pull just the motor. If I woulda known how it wouldn't go back together.....

It's not too late. You can pull it, put it all together and put the whole thing back in. That's always been easiest for me, rather than rastlin with tryin to line it all up with just the engine. I've done it that way, but it's a PITA.
