Started working on the swap this morning.
I'm basically at the point I had hoped to be at last night, but ended up wasting time troubleshooting the vacuum leak.
And I'm going to a friend's cottage for the afternoon, so I won't get much more done until tomorrow.
at this point...
1) degreased taller tranny
2) trans fluid drained
3) lower ball joints separated
4) axles removed
5) clutch cable disconnected
6) reverse switch wire disconnected
7) speedo cable disconnected
8) shifter linkage & support disconnected
9) most supporting / connecting nuts & bolts loosened and/or WD40'd
I was hoping not to have to drain the coolant, but looks like I'll also have to disconnect the lower rad hose steel tube that runs over top of stuff.
