Thanks that worked perfectly!!! Is there any suggestions for getting the cooling lines on the passenger side out!??? Everything is pretty much done except...
Two tranny bolts
A couple electric connections
and the trans case is still on!! I cant reach the top bolts so I was going to try to egt the tranny down first, then I should be able to reach the top bolts, put the tranny back up, slide off the T case, then drop the trans down again!!

Each line is held in with a c-clip. You can take a small flathead screwdriver and pop the c-clips off, then the lines just pull straight out. It's tough to see up there, but that's all that is holding them in. Look at the tranny lines that go into the radiator for reference - same exact type of fitting on the transmission itself.
Glad the rest is working well!

I've heard you can do it with a long extension and a wobbly thing (u-joint) on the end of it....if you lower the jack a little bit you might be able to get it from inside the engine compartment too, not sure if the intake manifold is in the way or not.
