may be easier to take out the tranny and engine together and seperate them later. Haynes manual shows you how.

It's much easier that way.

he's wondering if anyone has the phone number for "ape man" or Superman, I assume he would like to enlist their services in the removal of his engine.

When he is refering to "Ape Man" he is referring to a guy that works as a mechanic at RX7 Heaven in MN. The guy is a total grease ball. But please Rex86, keep to the topic!!

Yes, but not if you're working alone. Then it's a really fun challenge to get the dang thing tilted enough to not get caught up on the lip of the firewall, while trying to pull it forward. It's even more fun when it starts to rain at that point, too.

Ape Man, please help us!!!!!!! Pour in the ATF and send up smoke signals or something!

As mentioned earlier, it sounds like your starters still bolted in. You cant take the two apart without it out.

Hey, I got a cherry picker and I'm pulling my motor. The lower portion on the driver's side of the motor and tranny won't come apart. Anyone know Ape man or Superman's phone number? Please help!

I think if you had known how to type a sentence correctly with correct grammar things could be much easier. heh

Goodluck on the pull dude.
