I use a "helper" too ... her name is AnnaBelle ... <G> Actually
she is pretty good with a wrench, and with an air driven socket she
is a whiz ... we pulled the axles from the TR6 in no time at all, me
holding the box wrench and AnnaBelle using the air wrench with a very
long extension and flex socket.
We have also removed the transmission and starter from the TR3 using
the same techniques, frankly I don't know what I would do without her
...
