interesting method Jeff

i think i'll stick to the engine plate method tho
but to be extra safe,
i'm going to place wood blocks under the engine and tranny
while i loosen the engine and tranny bolts
just in case the floor jack would fail

then remove the blocks one by one as i lower the engine/tranny
according to this forum and the plate manufactures
the engine/tranny should be balanced on the lift plate

Took out these 8 bolts

What is the best way to separate
the axles from the transmission?

Thanks

Give the hub a few gentle taps to seperate. There is a gasket in there, often the PO has applied some sealant in there making it "seal better". Remove the large (36mm) nut at the wheel side and remove the axle shaft.

Engine is out of the parts car!!

Used a flat screwdriver with masking tape
and gently tapped around the CV/transmission joint
until it slowly split apart
Took a lot of patience

Had to use a grinding wheel on three of the four transmission mounting bolts
The top nuts were completely inaccessible

Also, the engine mounting bolts consisted of
recessed Allen bolts with a large nut on top
I was able to get a 17 mm socket on the top nut
and an Allen wrench, with a long extension, below
One came right off, the other broke the bolt off

If the Allen head would have stripped out
I'd would have had to cut the mounting bracket
Fortunately, this wasn't necessary

The HELL HOLE

My plan is to completely strip this parts car
and see if anyone would want to buy the body
for sheetmetal

So having done this - would you agree the Tangerine engine cradle is worth it? If answer is no, try putting it back in without. That might give an alternate view. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Hopefully you don’t regret it. I love mine and I’m just ashamed I didn’t invent it.

Hello Superhawk!

Yes, I was glad I spent the $ for the tangerine engine lift plate
The tough part of dropping the engine were the mounting bolts

I was extremely nervous about safety
some used wood blocks under the engine
while removing the engine mounting bolts

But the plate worked like a charm and the
engine came right down

The main WWII jeep site is

https://forums.g503.com/

They have a Web site for pictures
to transfer into your threads

http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/index.php

Does 914World have a similar web site?
Or which site do most of you use?

thanks

You can also upload photos straight from your photos folder. It is a little confusing, but if yo look just below the emojis, there is a "file attachments" button that will let you upload from the photos folder on your computer of phone.

Hi Krazy
I tried to do this
but apparently there is not
enough file space
The photos are greater than the global limit

The Clark barn was featured in
the Iowa most beautiful Barn contest

Am currently removing the pedal cluster from the parts 914
There appears to be 4 bolts holding the mounting bracket.
The back to bolts are straight forward
But how are the front two bolts attached to the frame?
Thanks

There are 2 nuts accessed from the underside also holding the master cylinder.

Do you have a Haynes or Clymer manual. very informative

yes, i have both

there appears to be a very heavy plate
underneath the car that covers up access to these nuts

i have a 1973 Clymer manual
but could not find anywhere how to remove the pedal assb as a whole

well...I think i figured it out...

remove the bottom access panel
this exposes the master brake cylinder
and think the bolts that hold it on
are the same two bolts that hold down
the front of the pedal assb mount

does this sound right?

thanks

Exactly, and you saw the plate is lightweight 18 or 20 gauge like everywhere. I first thought this access panel was a skid plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

This was just left of the glove box on the panel
What was it used for?
