Subject:      Jacking a Syncro/thermostat housing
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I was wondering if it would be safe to
jack the Syncro on the engine subframe or
crossmember using a floorjack? The reason
I wanna do this is that the stock jack is
not lifting the car high enough to get
good working space underneath. I am also
wondering if the thermostat housing can
leak if I only use three bolts to hold it
together. The bolt nearest the gearbox
broke, and it is tight to get the lower
housing off. (that's why I wanna jack it
higher) I quickly found out that I need to
get the lower housing off to get the
remains of the bolt off. As always, any
suggestions, good or bad, is welcome. Yes,
I know I get good access to the lower
housing by removing the engine, but I feel
it would be a bit too much work.
