Greetings !
I need some help (in many ways). My pilgrimage into the local
auto junkyard was today. I was after the transmission and rear-end off
a 71 Triumph GT6. The transmission came out fine, just like it was supposed
to. The research I did into earlier threads on this subject helped me out
immensely. I did notice however that trans fluid seemed to be leaking
right around the area where those 3 little springs are.
Now for my problem. Since I am working without a manual (and a net)
I am a little confused. The rear-end just doesn't want to come out. It moves,
but I can't get it. Here is what I did.
Disconnected and dropped the prop shaft. (anyone need it?)
Removed the 4 bolts on the axles near the diff on both sides
of the car. One axle moved away, but the other seems to be stuck to
the rear end mounts.
Removed that nearly foot long bolt holding the rear-end in place.
Removed the six nuts on top of the leaf spring.
Removed the 2 nuts holding the front of the rear-end in place.
I am forgetting something?. I can pry 1 side of the front mount away
but the other side seems to be kind of stuck. I used pry bars and got
the whole unit to move around, but it just won't move away from the back
mounting area in the u-shaped channels where that long bolt was.
I am afraid that someone will come along with the proper tool and take it
away from me, after I did all of the dirty work so I want to go back
tomorrow AM and get it.
Thanks in advance.....
(just couldn't resist the 'British Leyland' marked AM radio for 5
bucks.)
