regarding the axle/ball joint situation. you pull the 2 nuts that hold the upper a arm onto the shock tower, this allows the a-arm/hub assembly to swing out of the way, this allows you to slip the axle out of the hub. very simple and there is no ball joint to cross thread. only minor issue is watching to not let the hub hang by the brake line. this can tear the line. just don't be stupid.

Thats awesome thanks for letting us know that! I never would have thought of doing it that way, I guess I just learned that you had to separate the ball joint to get the axle out.:icon_cheers:

Or use the hoist to lift the car up and slide the motor and tranny out from underneath the car.

Or use the cherry picker to lift out motor/trans like normal people.

bp, have you ever pulled a motor on a ef? because i have many times, and i can tell you that pulling the engine/trans as one isn't very easy. as the engine bay is tiny. oh and if these kids can't figure out how to pull a motor you think they have the ability to pull the roll pin in the shift linkage and pull that before wraping around the bottom of the car.

bp quit talking please.

Umm... if it were me, i'd just use the cherry picker... i've done it many ways, out the bottom, bare hands, etc... cherry picker seemed to be the easiest...

ya, but if it takes him all of 20mins to drive across town and get one, might as well

[DrifterExtreme]

in those 20 min, i would have had the engine half out. and not wasted the money to "rent" a hoist.

So did this motor ever make its way out of the car? If so post some pictures.
