Larry,
I HAVE done it. In the car. Drive shaft undone and tied up
(NOT removed). Car on stands. Hand brake on hard. 3/4" ratchet with
socket. Suitable diameter pipe to go over ratchet handle. 6 feet
long. Jump on it. The car may want to fall off the stands, so be
careful. One particularly tight one, I lowered the car back on the
ground and had someone stand on the pedal. (they put it in gear, but
that was after they had had a few too many beers).
But, I have done it, several times.
