    My clutch gave out, so here I am lol
    Also, this is a great video. In my opinion not enough videos bother to remind people that these things come with instructions.

    I built one out of wood to replace a transaxle on an 88 Z24. It worked just fine, but I'm going to buy one of these for safety.

    Head's up HFT bar purchased feb 23 was too short to span a V70XC except at the very front, maybe 1-2 inches in front of the front engine hanger. I was surprised to find this video with the bar spanning the car in the normal place.....this car must be narrower than V70 or else bars got shorter.

    Mister Robert! I’m about to do the same operation, I’m curious won’t the passenger side of the motor pivot down since the engine bar isn’t directly over the point where the chain loops through? Once the subframe is removed that is, and the weight of the motor is just supported by the bar..

    • @RobertDIY
      @RobertDIY  8 місяців тому

      I did not position the bar straight across. Besides that, what are your options?

    • @TheBlackSaloon

      @@RobertDIY Exactly what I figured, other wise if the bar was straight across the points you loop the chain through aren’t directly under the bar. So the bar being diagonal across the engine bay is the way to go? One end by the passenger headlight and one near the driver hood hinge more or less.

    Once you pull the subframe I would place a jack with a block of wood on top under the engine oil pan just as an insurance policy!
