Each time I've "pulled the engine and trans, I've lowered the car as much as possible with the wheels removed and unbolted the mounts with so it all sits on a dolly. Then raise the car and slide the mass out.
Harbor Freight has a motorcycle lift on sale. Has anyone used one of these for this process? If it could be rigged, it seems it would take a lot of work out of the jacking, and allignment issues. B |

I bought the HF hydraulic lift table, and it worked great because it's really big. Only problem was that I had to take off the jacking handle and make an extension. It points up into the motor and is only about 8" long - designed for foot action, and with no leverage, I couldn't move it up and down.
I haven't tried the motorcycle lift, but thought if the rear of that platform was cut free, and the front reattached with pivot bolts to keep everything level, it'd be a quick lift for the motor and the side of the car. I didn't like the tilt that a motor or car would encounter with the fixed flat lift that it comes with. |
