Default Need some help please
Just about ready to get frame to be media blasted, but I need advice on how to drop the transverse differential mount. Removed the bolts from underneath pried and dead blow hammer and it dropped a bit, but that's it. doesn't respond to a little more encouragement. Am I missing something?.........Parts everywhere, organize tomorrow and label!!

Many thanks for the help

if you removed the bottom ones then the only thing holding in place is rust

We had success by driving wood shims between the frame and cross-member. Very loud pop when it came loose.

I agree with Keith.

A six foot long pry bar seems to work well on those connections that are fighting you. Here is a picture of what it should look like after the removal of the cross member just to give you some perspective. Picture from a 64'. Good Luck with it. C.J.

Black 62 and red bubble top? Since Z-11 is your posting I assume '09s? I am also working on cloning my high school 64 impala SS 409. A little more ci and HP than it had though
