Troulbe Pulling out Triton V10 F-250 S/D

[devildog_0431]

I spent a good 5 hours today getting my Triton V10 ready to pull....The fly-wheel won't turn cuz the engine is siezed from water damage. I took out all the wiring, radiator and all that happy stuff and can't get the tranny and engine seperated, I even had to guys w/ pry bars knocking the motor left and right after lifting it some to knock it loose from the tranny but no luck. All the bolts have been taken out, trust me. Any ideas yall can give me will be appreciated ! thanks

the front pump stator on the trans can easily become a causalty . think you can wiggle it out eng trans and all? pressure on the tailshaft up, down, side with time too work could loosen it up off the dowels. think there is room to pull it off the t.converter?

I looked more into how I could get the motor out. I lifted on the motor w/ the overhead chain crane and then lifted the tranny w/ a jack and block of wood on the pan. This lifted the tranny up and relieved the pressure on the input shaft between the motor and tranny. I used a big ass pry bar and got it to seperate slowy, eventually the motor came out and I pulled it then lowered the tranny back to its spot. I transfered all the coil packs over and stuff and need to transfer the fuel rails and injectors but I need to change the injector upper and lower seals....i went all over the island today trying to find a seal kit for it and nobody even has them or can order the, dam. I'm gonna pull the injectors tomorrow and see how good they are, I don't wanna re-use them in this replacement motor.

I got the motor in today and bolted up to the tranny. Tomorrow I just have to put the radiator back in, exhaust pipe bolted to the manifold, a/c compressor, starter, and put the hood on and she's done. I gotta say that this was pretty easy for a newer vehicle, my first complete motor swap in a vehicle....I did pretty good.
