I pulled mine from the top. Took me about 10hrs and wasnt as bad as pulling the trans by itself. I think If I had to do a clutch in the future I would just pull the motor w/trans from the top again to replace it.

 

Does anybody have pictures or description of lifting points for using chains with the cherry picker

 

Yeah, I'm curious too. The transmission is heavy so where is the center of gravity when you lift.

 

So am i, i usually use a thick strap and loop it around the block and trans. Lol

 

Any pics?

 

Remove trans and axles.
tie up the t case
pull radiator
Lift engine.
boom

 

P.S. the head has lifting points attached. Attach chain there. Use a load leveler to made it even easier.
I had mine out in a couple hours, but I'm getting really used to it.

 

I left trans attached. But I removed hot side and cold side from the head, radiator, and unbolted/mated the TC and moved it towards passenger side.

Load leveler is key because you have to lower the trans side down below the frame rail.

 

Load leveler at full tilt. Engine with trans.
