The 2 bolts on the top of the transmission? The absolute easiest to get out of the bunch. I was dreading them and they were easy.
I should buy 410 a case of beer for his 36" extension suggestion. Still took 2 people but just one to guide the socket to the proper destination.
Motor STILL ISN'T OUT!!!
The one transmission bold ON THE BOTTOM I said was stripped? Well we took a cutoff wheel to it and brought the head off.
Now it seems like the shank is frozen in the transmission. We tried beating, heating, it's like a 1" long dowel pin press fit in to the bell housing.
You should see the corrosion on the ones that did come out.
SOOO it is all loose except for that, I'm slicing it right behind the bell housing with the cutoff wheel next episode. I'll still be able to put a screw in it there will be a 1/8" gap between the bolt hole and the new motor oh well at least there will be a bolt in there. Yes I tried a little heat and pounding and oil and a 3 foot pry bar and a screwdriver.
Hey didn't try a chisel between the motor and transmission maybe that.
Anyhow we had the motor off the mounts shaking it around, everything moves except that headless bolt.
The fact that most the low stuff is corroded or rusted excessively and the upper stuff is just fine leads me to believe they drove it through water during 4 wheeling or it was in a flood. No evidence inside or above the frame.
I have pulled a dozen or so motors and a few transmissions and have never seen one this bad.
Found out the right rear drum is locked up too. I soaked it in brute blast and smacked it around with a sledge a little hoping is soaks in to freedom.
Sad thing is as nice as this thing looks by the time I get done with it I might get 2K max out of it. Might have to drive it for a year to recoup some.
