A load leveler is the only way to go. But cut off that stupid little crank, weld on a nut and use your 1/2 in wratchet, much easier. I used one of those long nuts, about a 3/4 or 7/8 don`t remember.

I pulled my engine, but a 300d not a 240D, and I pulled eng and trans together. much eiser for me to separate the eng and trans once on the ground.

Also seems like it would be a PITA to try to align the two back up with the trans left in the car.

If the weather holds out, I have to go back through this again this week.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
