We disassembled it in about 20 minutes......
(The Mack Bulldog was also removed.
)

Working without all my "cool tools" sometimes makes things interesting. My bro doesn't have a press or a vice, but we needed to replace the broken teaser spring. It kept getting jammed on the driveshaft and wouldn't let the clutch completely disengage, making it hard to get into gear. Driveshaft has to come out to cut it off for the creeper, so I suggested we do it systematically so we didn't have to build a tool to compress the spring to replace the teaser. So, after pulling the engine, we set the brake, and removed the clutch and replaced the teaser. Lance held a big hammer on the shaft to absorb the hit as I drove the pins out and back in. Yeah, the driveshaft is pretty wore. Lance said he will get a new one at a later date. At least he knows how to take it all apart now!!

Then we took a lunch break and I made these posts....
Now, heading back out to completely remove the driveshaft and rear end. Then probably start power washing. Then it will be take a swim, because it's hot, while the machine dries from it's bath.
