Re: Pulling an sm465
Probably missing a few things,but here goes: First thing is get hold of a good transmission/transfer case jack.I bought a cheaper one probably close to twenty years ago & it still works good,had a threaded rod instead of a hydraulic cylinder.Drain your T case,disconnect driveshaft,speedo,shift linkage on t case.Support the transmission/transfer case(some might not agree,but this always works for me) by using a square piece of metal or plywood approx 6" square under the oilpan & a bottle jack under it.Using the tranny jack,place under the t case & unbolt it from adapter.Make sure it's supported well. When I was a lot younger I bench pressed the 205 out,but I got wiser as I grew older! Once t case is out.Remove the crossmember,place jack under tranny,remove the trim around gear shift lever & remove the stick.Push down on the retainer & turn 90 degrees. Usually I unbolt the 4 1/2" bolts on tranny to bell housing & pull it that way,after it's out,then drop your engine down some & undo the bell housing to engine bolts if you need to take that much apart.If your going to leave it any length of time,support the engine better & don't rely only on the bottle jack. Oh,forgot too,you have to drop the front driveshaft from t case as well.
