Ifin yu havent dropped the unit yet, ya might consider using a sheet of plywood and about 5 or 6 1-inch in diameter pipes(about 3 ft long) to drop it onto.Lay the pipes on the drive way and then place the plywood on top of the pipes.Next, drop the combo of the trans and engine on this fine roller board.Once dropped, just roll the unit out from under the van.The pipes act as rollers and the van needs to be raised a minimum ammount(safty).Not done this myself,and I need a guinne ,er volenteer to try it.Didnt invent this ,only saw it on the list somewhere.Roger |
