Our Pick N Pull have the cars up on welded rims for stands. they do not allow jacks to be used.
They do have a bunch of A frames/chain hoists on wheels that can be used free of charge to pull engines.

Last April I pulled an engine with the trans in 3 1/2 hours by my self. then
separated the two on the ground, and left the trans.

If you try to just remove the trans w/o a jack or something to let down
safely, plan on the possibility of getting hurt. the automatic trans have
to be 100 lbs. or so.

removing a 4 spd manual is no problem, they don`t weigh much. I have pulled two by my self.

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
