Pulling Engine Tranny and T Case

[OFFRD19]

Im pulling the engine, transmission and transfer case on my 76 bronco. Does anyone know if its possible to pull them all as one unit? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Short of pulling the body your looking at a lot of unbalanced weight trying to pull it all as a solid unit. Def have to make sure you drained all fluids or that's another mess you'd have on your hands.

It's been done plenty of times. I'de be a little weary of trying it. Maybe at least pull the T-case first so it doesn't get hung up on anything and to remove a little weight from the far end.

Alright guys, just wanted to let yall know I pulled them all as one unit and everything went good. Thanks for the advice though.

Did you pull the front clip off or how'd you get it all out?

Remove the radiator and transmission crossmember and lift it all out through the hood.

Done it with 351/NP435 or 4R70W/D20. Not even a body lift. Not bad at all.

yeah i pulled the crossmember, then took everything off from the radiator to the water pump. Also I plugged the whole where the speedo goes into the transfer case, and I didnt have that much lost fluid just a few spots here and there. The only snag i had was that i didnt extend the arm on my engine hoist far enough so i had to let the air out of the tires then I got inside the engine compartment and lifted up on the transfer case while my dad rolled the bronco back. Not to bad, easier than laying on your back and disconnecting the transfer case from the tranny. At least thats my opinion on it.

A come along to pick the transfer case up and lift it over the core support comes in handy if you do it yourself. Just hook the top side to the top of the cherry picker and it will pick up the tail.

Or have a friend lift it over the core support while you roll the engine in and out.

I just figured the Cherry picker would have a rough time with it. I know when i unloaded a 472 still attached to a tranny it bout killed me LOL.
