<VV> Engine Weight / Pulling

[Frank DuVal]

Must be a late thing. I leave the turbo on when dropping earlies. Of 
course, I don't separate eng and diff on earlies in the car. So do you  
remove the turbo just to get at the upper diff to bellhousing bolt?

Yes, a small bottle jack sitting on the diff and pushing up to the body 
helps keep the diff down when the engine weight comes off. Keeps from 
breaking the snout so quickly on manuals. Helps on PGs also.

Guide pins. Hmmm. Maybe I'll try something new like that! ggg
