Greets All,
I need to know if there's a tool to tilt the engine forward after removing the dogbones so I can get my hands behind the engine. I can't seem to torque myself into a position that will allow me proper gripage for the task. Hell, I can't even get the boots off never mind get a socket in there.
I know I can remove the alternator and the coil pack but it would be so much easier if I could tilt the engine. I don't have anything to connect a come-along between the engine lift lug and my house so that's out. I read in another thread a guy had his wife press the brake and slowly bring the RPM's up so he could replace his dogbones. I was wondering if the same would work to tilt the engine and use blocks between alternator and firewall long enough to get the job done.
The other thing is, what do they use in GM shops? Is there a tool that bolts in the holes of the dogbone mounting bracket and grabs the engine lift lug and is maybe wrench or air activated?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
