when you drop the rear xmember pay attention to the items that will be affected up front, ie. intake, aft fuel rail to firewall clearance

Thanks heaps mateys for the reply on the how-to site and it makes good sense on possible up front damages that can happen. You know you yankies are all right down here. Better go, got to feed the kangaroos and stingrays in the pool

A jack stand right under the bellhousing will prevent the motor from tipping back and causing those problems Place the jack stand first before removing the torque tube.
