Tomorrow is finally Drop Day I think. (have had some health issues in between).
Didn't have enough extensions to go from below, but I got the bad-time bolt loose using one of my best buys ever, a long handled breaker ratchet with a pivoting head from Autozone (sale, $15). I was able to reach it from the engine compartment because it can go past 90 degrees, into reverse angled. One good shove, popped loose, and it came right out using finger pressure alone. The passenger side main bold nut was a pain, had to remove the clutch cable mount.Because I had the main bolts removed, in trying to get the clutch lever off, I thought I was compressing the clutch, but actually backed off the transmission a 1/4" so it's ready to go tomorrow. Just hope it slides on back easy enough, drops in line, and life is good.
I don't have any scrap metal so no welded cradle, have to use a wood one like in your pictures.
A surplus of joy, has been this operation (not)
