How heavy is a 231? I'm gonna go to the JY Sunday alone and I'm wondering how heavy it is to pull out myself?

 

how strong are you?

 

Strong enough to swallow a bb and shoot the dog after beating off

 

........


My one buddy did a trans and t case by himself laying on his back (did them separately). He is pretty strong though. I can do them myself, but need my fancy trans Jack to do the lifting lol. Best bet fir junkyard might be, unbolt it and disconnect everything. Then tie a seat belt to the rear output, lay a hood under the Jeep, pull the seat belt and let the case fall on the hood, then slide the hood out.

 

Maybe lay a rear seat bottom in the hood as a cushion first

 

stupid tapatalk, edit button isn't wiring after last update..... weed through the typos yourself lol

 

Thanks for the tip lol.


So how heavy is it. 50 lbs or more?

 

60 maybe I would say I pulled mine myself its not that bad getting the top bolt is the biggest pain in the @**

 

How come. Hard to access it? Hopefully someone else removed the crossmember so the tranny is hanging lower I could access it lol.
Or better if someone took the engine out and left the transfer case on the ground

 

Transfer case is like 40 pounds

 

Its not so much the weight that makes it a pita as much as the laying down with minimal clearance that makes it tricky

 

Who ll be at Harry's u pull it at pennsburg this Saturday or Sunday?

 

you and your bb gun:P

 

Lol

 

TC is 65 pounds. It is manageable solo. I did mine twice.
The top bolt is a pain because of tight access. A stubby 9/16" wrench works good, especially with a length of cord attached to pull on also.
But keep in mind this info is from someone in North Carolina. Might not be viable in PA.
