Removing Allison

[4RunnerGuy]

This is in a 2500HD. How bad of a job is this going to be on my back with a floor jack? The drive shafts and t-case are already out.

I destroyed the extension housing. Other than that the Allison’s been great for 300K.

Loooong extensions and a universal are your friend. And don't forget the converter bolts.

Ratchet strap that heavy bitch to your jack.

How'd you grenade that? Is that that common thing early on they had a t case brace for?

IIRC your gonna went to have the torsion bars and t bar cross member out when you go to stab it with the t case

Don't go buy a scissor-lift transmission jack from Harbor Freight. Rickety piece of shit. I almost had my nv4500 fall over on me a couple times. I know that's not exactly what you're asking just figured I would tell you in case you were considering buying one to help the job

It's gonna fucking suck by yourself. I recall fighting the cooler lines off as biggest PITA, ex manifold nuts second

36" extension and a wobble socket.

The hf lift with the jack arm works great and lifts high.

The "looks like an oversized floor jack" HF transmission jack is good but the little brackets suck and you should buy some small D-rings to go with it and plan to weld them on.

The whole job will suck if your floor is not flat and level.
