Been done,not a problem with a rolling engine lift at all.Good to have 2 men there for that.When you lift it the weight makes it tip down anyways so it isn't really a problem.Take the radiator out first and take the hood off.

I think what he's getting at is the same dilema I share with him.I have Witte's 5-lug stuff on the floor of my shop with no car attatched to them.It's the halfshaft with the hub,etc.(Eric,I've had the rears ready for months now,getting to the fronts now that I have a pipe wrench).
I bought a big pipe wrench that I hope I can hold the shaft with as I jump on the breaker bar with the 36mm socket.
Use heat on the nut too.Propane torch it for a minute or so and then try it right away.
I went to the machine shop across from me and put it in several vices and not one could hold the shaft to be able to get the castle nut loose.

I'd try making a seperate postabout this subject if I were you.
Good luck.I'd help you if I had a hatch shaft.

I thought Tom still had it.I don't think it sold when he was looking for money for his cat's health care issue.

Must have been left by one of my ancestors.

Justin,get any snow?Weather channel showed you in the path of a squawl or two.
free bump for north Georgia-home of Scott Ru$$ell,World Superbike Champion and the only 5 TIME winner of the Daytona 200!!!!

You are hereby invited to my holiday party.It's in Milford,CT just about and hour from NYC.Exit 40 off I-95 northbound.Go left at the end of the exit.Up to the intersection of Woodmont Rd. and take a right.You'll see a Shell station on your left,then a Dunkin donuts,then a small industrial park.I'm in there-230 Woodmont Rd. unit 41-C
Date-Saturday Dec. 27th or Sunday if there's some wicked snow storm.Late morning or early afternoon,whenever you can get there.
There's at least one guy from PA coming,maybe the NJ guys will make it too.
We're fairly well experienced in these cars from the 70's through the 80's.Feel free to email or post here.
We'll probably go to NJ in the springtime.Pine Barrens-Wharton State forest and Atco.

Yo Cornstalk,shoot those numbers over to me and I'll check my '77-79 FPM for you. Cheers!

Brian,send me an email with price on a complete engine set.Thanks

You tell him Johnny!!! There's a few folks on eBay ocassionally.
Some of the folks I've dealt with for EA71 and earlier items-
Matthew Moore -matt@always-jaguar.com
bdturn7@aol.com -a.k.a. Bill Turner
Hubler's Engines - hublerengines@proaxis.com
Might want to try Hal Coots,I don't have the info but a few folks have gone to him/them.
closeout1@msn.com -These folks were also helpful at times.
If you find some other sources please be a good sport and let the few of us know who drive EA71's and earlier.Thanks.

.......oh well,can't win 'em all.
Lemme know when the steamship arrives.I'll be in port.....Bridge port,yuk yuk :-p -
Moose man says it is a headgasket going and that I just might have my pushbutton 4WD 3spd auto tranny by Christmas!!
Actually,these suckers have been known to drive many miles in this condition.I'll have a spare motor soon if you want to swap one in to keep it away from me.I've got a few options for you if you're interested.Call or email.

Funny thing though.This snow started out as the driest powder I've ever seen.Last for a few hours like that and now it's sleet and rain.New England weather.:cornfuzz:
-
Changed to rain down here.But not untill after near blizzard conditions.First my son and I had a blast.Then daddy went out solo for thrills and adventure.Nice 'n greasy today.Too bad it's warming up for the next few days down here.
I wonder if this is going to be like last year?Not even New Years and we've gotten over 2ft. on the shoreline already.You guys must be under 5ft. by now.
Enjoy!!!
-
beer.........what else can I say besides pork products 'n beer.
Have fun!
Best wishes to you too.
-
What we really want to know is which beer did you down?
-
Happy Birthday!!Hope you get many more down the line.
Good luck with the cars.

All of the above and add:
22mm socket and big breaker bar for crank pulley.
sping hook for roll down window cranks
punch for axle pins....better have a hammer too
I keep handy a 2 or 3lb drilling hammer-like a small sledge hammer
screw starters for straight and Philips heads
"six way tool" which is a painter's tool,like a putty knife only with other funtions.
Cold chisel-goes well with drilling hammer
penetrating oil for rusty bolts-PB Blaster seems to be the best(and I'm a former Liquid Wrench addict)
Wheel chocks!!!! Could save your life
same for Jack Stands!!!! nothing like being alive to tell about your ordeal.
32mm socket if you have a 4wd
other items that are in my box that have been used:
duck bill pliers
regular pliers
channel lock pliers
needle nose pliers
Vice Grips
allen wrenches-but mostly you need the large one(10mm??) for the drain plug(heads) should you ever do that
I'm sure there's a couple more oddball items too that I'm not thinking of right now.
Other helpful items:
heat-as in torch,for those really PIA bolts
air tools and compressor
test meter
thread saver-I use Permatex's silvery stuff
2 jacks
light source for under car,etc.
gloves-especially when dealing with used oil!!!!!
and once in a great while:
Sawzall
10lb. sledge hammer
beer

Way to go Jerry!!!!
-
Yeah,I feel the same way.I'm juts holding out for that slim chance that I can go this weekend.Doesn't look good right now.
:boohoo:
-
Don't even tell me Indiana drew that....if so,damn he's good for 5 1/2!!
-
Skip seems to be all over this.He's the genious of the operation.All I know is I had the same problem and now I'm loving life.Like he said in your other post,check for power to the blower fan under the glove box first.Good luck.

Very entertaining night here on the 9th floor overlooking Park Ave.
Plenty of accidents and dozens of folks who could not make it up the little hill in front of our bldg. Cops closed the street going uphill untill the sand/plow trucks could get here.
Should be a fun Saturday!!! Better than freezing while boneyarding........I think.:cornfuzz:
-
Uhh,like I said,I had the same problem and it was indeed the relay.The prongs were absolutely noticeably blueish and toasted out.Perhaps a short developed somewhere causing the same result.
All I know is that I have HEAT!!! and love it!!
I also NOW have A/C,Def.,BiLevel.
highest mileage?
in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

A professor I know says he has over 1,500,000 miles on one of his d/r EA81 wagons.Only on its second engine.
And over 450,000 on his hatch with all original components.
