I jsut had my t-case rebuilt and I cannot get the rear cross member back in for the life of me. ITs literally 1/2" longer than the space between the frame it is supposed to go in. Ive tried slipping , jacking and pounding it in from all angles top bottom diagonally etc. Im stumped. Anyone know the trick to getting this thing in there? HELP.

 

any way to get a bottle jack in there and give it some >>spread<<

 

I tried. I was alone though. If I could get a bottle jack and a 4' bar with plates at the end or something it may work... lots of stuff to hold together though.

Either way, I dropped the truss on my hand last attempt last night, and almost took off the top of my thumb... so...The mechanic can do it now. I literally took my thumb half way off when this thing fell the distance my my lifted undercarriage and got the tip of my thumb... Wish I had just let it fall on my arm... Would have hurt life hell, but i would just have a bruise instead of a mangle hand...

 

jesus. i'm sorry to hear that.
did you go to the doctor and get it cleaned up.

 

lol hell no. all they would do is pay me to scrub it clean and stitch it up so it looks pretty, I could care less how it ends up looking. I cleaned it out real good with alcohol and bandaged it up. Hald my mother in law walk me threw it. [shes a nurse]

 

Oooooooo..... Did the alcohol hurt worse than crunching it in the first place?

 

don't push it up from the bottom,drop in down from the top

 

Lol?? must be thinking of a dfferent part...no way to do that. above wher eit rests is the bottom of the tub. I had a friend come over and we got it done. took 2 jacks working together slowly to push it up into place. I was trying to do it alone the first time. Went much smoother the second time with help.
