Default Engine pull question:

I've pulled an engine before when I blew turbos and I pulled the whole front drive shafts out of the hubs and removed them. I have seen some pics of other engine pulls with the halfshafts still in place. I don't want to pull the halfshafts agian if I don't have to. Anybody done it with the halfshafts still in (attached to the hubs)?

Default It's worth pulling them. You can do it without removing them from the hubs, but it makes it so...

much easier and is well worth the 15 minutes it takes.

Default When I pulled mine I dropped the whole subframe, hubs, etc...
