I know I have beaten this to death but does anyone have any tricks for changing out the bellhousing CPS? I found it, Have a new one. But Removing it has been a bit of a challenge due to big forearms and hands.

Stubby Wrenches? Lots of light?

Any help would be greatly appreciated I am 20 Miles away from a garage and tow trucks don't like my driveway to take it to a garage. Mobile mechanics on craigslist balk at the idea.

Thanks in advance.

 

wobbler extension

 

a wobbler or drop the crossmember and let the trany angle and you can get at the bolts with extensions. Just make sure you support the crossmember with a floor jack.

 

u need about 2ft of extensions 1 long plus 1 short is the best 2 swivels and an adapter and a 7/16 socket

 

I picked up a 30" 3/8" drive extension just for this purpose - it turned out to be ten bucks well spent! Between that and the 11m/m 'flex' socket (shorty socket with inbuilt universal joint) and notching the CPS bracket, I've got CPS changes down to about four minutes total.

 

Just did it yesterday ,15 "s of extension and like they said a universal. Not to bad at all
