HELP cant get input shaft off to remove engine

This is related to this thread http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3612, Wade just texted me for all of your help or suggestions. He is having problems getting the input shaft off the motor so he can pull it out, any ideas? Post or call Wade at 254-266-0273 he is right in the thick of it as we speak

 

Try what I told you on the phone, should be no issue...

 

On behalf of the other Wade, thanks Dan for speaking to him

 

yeah thanks man.. my buddy just showed up....and i just got the tranny bolted back up..and the bell housing unbolted..drive shaft droped...and were ready to get the shaft out of the motor.....i'll post pictures when shes outta the truck.. i learned alot by talking to dan and i have a feeling i'll be talking with him alot more...and thanks for putting up with me on the phone lol... i knwo i'v got alot of questions.....

 

No problem at all!

 

Just remember:

1. Remove Driveshaft
2. Support and unbolt trans mount
3. unbolt trans from bell housing (make sure trans is balanced on its support by looking at gap spacing)
4. slide trans out of clutch and lower
5. remove bellhousing from engine
6. unbolt and remove engine


These are by far the easiest steps to complete the removal.
