A very, very BIG house project got in the way. (5000 sqft to finish, just down to flooring and trim now) In addition, there was the college search and applications for my son.....

Hoping to get this done by year end now.

I got the driver's side brake off and the end link disconnected. Last two items to do before releasing the sub-frame are the steering shaft and the shift cable.

Below is a pic of the dolly I intend to lower the drive train on to. I don't have a lift so this will have to do. The longest transverse 2x4 will support the hub-carriers so no undue strain is placed on the suspension bushings. Once the whole assembly is out I intend to remove the engine and do the lower gaskets.

Maybe I should replace the steering rack?
