Every body here is allowed to reply except for Tim Hancock . That guy is off the rails, next level .
Im putting a transmission and subframe/suspension crossmember in a Ford Tranist 250 this week . Total brutality .
Rustly Pa subframe, I have broken every 21 mm socket I own, went through 2 packs of sawzall blades, and ran my acetylene tank empty heating bolts . Took me 2 entire days to remove the frame, and transmission . You can't just he man the bolts, and snap them off up in the vehicle body , or you make tons more work for yourself, so you, just have to go slow, and attempt to remove them without breaking . I only snapped one off, and have one more sticking out, that I still have to extract .
The job is not that hard in theory, but rust belt cars always pose some unique challenges.
I've had some doozies in my day.
Heater core in an eagle premiere waay back in the 90's . No one around wanted to do it . I pulled it off , but hated every second of it . I remember a big block chevy motor replacement in a motor home, that the motor had to come out through the side door, in the passenger compartment . That one was pretty rough .
Id love to hear of some of the more challenging jobs you guys have pulled off. There are some talented and crafty people here in the mix .
Lets hear it !
