I have a .75 fifth I'm trying to change in a 96 tranny. On the weekend I tried to loosen the nut (12pt on the larger gear) with the tranny out of the car with no luck. I figured I'd put it back in the car with cv's in place and use the brakes to hold it. Is there a better way of doing it?
I'd rather not have to fiddle with the shift mechanizm if I don't have to.
How tight is it? Has anyone ever damaged the rest of the tranny trying to remove it because it was 'stuck'.
