Do the exhaust pipes need to be removed to replace these? Thanks.
I would repost this in the 456 section Type NEED HELP in caps, hopefully you will get some responses. Oops, just noticed you did that.
Thanks. They are two different crowds for the most part. Pros tend to hang out here. Enthusiasts in 456/550/575
You need to look very carefully at the trans axle and make sure you have enough room to get the mounts out without taking the trans axle out. If I remember correctly, there is NOT enough room to raise the trans and take the mounts out. 550/575 are different I think too and can be done without dropping the trans. Just FYI.
Thanks for the heads up. That would really suck! How would I drop the trans? Disconnect it and pull it back?
Got it done. Split the torque tube at the bell housing. Jacked the tube up until the studs were centered in their holes. Jacked the tranny up just off the mounts and slid back really easy. Just about two inches is all.
