OK Gents, so i need to pull the motor this week. I really don't have the space to store nor the money to buy a real engine puller. However, whilst up in my attic, I noticed I have three 2"x12" bonded together in a very good location.
I borrowed a ratching come-along from a friend that has 3/8" cable. My thought is to insert 3 or 4 1/2" eye bolts into the rafter, then run a pole through it. I'll clamp the come-along to this pole. The plan is to lift the engine, then roll the chassis from the motor.
Is this a bad idea? I've never pulled a car motor before. In fact, the only motor-pulling experience I have is pulling my 150lbs bike engine from my se7en--whereby I would just lift the motor free. Anyway, all opinions are welcome!
--Thanks, Chris
