When I was replacing my rear u-joints before starting to drive the beast I noticed that I only had 2 of the 4 bolts that hold the t/c to the tranny and the two what were there were loose! I also noticed that the t/c rubber mount that bolts to the crossmember is missing it's two bolts. Only the whole drivetrain is off a little and I can't get my bolt in the hole ;)

Do I use a come along and pull the t/c, tranny, engine combo over where I need it or what?

Thanks all,

P.J.

You can use a floorjack on the t-case and pull it in the direction you need...have tow people to do the job.... it can be done....take your time and don't x-thread the bolts...you'll be sorry..... :D

Just a thought, might help to loosen the motor mount nuts a little and use a jack and short piece of 2x6 or 2x8 under the oil pan and take some of the load off to make it easier to move the whole assembly. Some Loctite may be in order as well. ;)
