What is easiest, removing the engine or the transmission to do this job?
Thanks,
Sam

Personally, I'd pull the trans. The motor has a lot more stuff to reconnect.
Also, for future sealant reference.

3M Ultra Pro 08672 is listed by Suby as an alternative along with Ultra Gray 499
(wholly thread revival!)

I know some people on here will go into a fit if you suggest ANYTHING but Anaerobic sealant. While it is better, $40 a tube and having to order online is a bit of an inconvenience to most DIYers, and I have yet to have ultra grey fail me.

USMB is pretty good, about one of the best, forums for being low key. nothing like the ill informed stuff on other forums about tires, oil, et.al. like picking up stones in the tread will change the resistance of a given tire and blow up the 4WD. LMAOI know some people on here will go into a fit if you suggest ANYTHING but Anaerobic sealant.
guess that's area dependent, I've gotten it at NAPA and Advance Auto Parts. but I recall there being one bottle at times....and no wonder with that price tag:dead:and having to order online
I use both.

When there are large gaps or very uneven surfaces, I use ultra grey or the red hi temp.
All other times I use anaerobic. Mainly because it doesn't set up in air, and if you have to delay mounting or remove the part, it doesn't make a mess and can just be attached.
