17. Continue raising vehicle until chassis is higher than the top of the transaxle (i.e. enough to allow powertrain to be
rolled out from under vehicle) (Figure 17-10, Page 17-10). Position jack stands, adjusted to support the vehicle at
this height, under the frame crossmember between the leaf spring mounts and side stringers, just forward of each
rear wheel. Lower the floor jack to allow the jack stands to support the vehicle.
18. Remove floor jack from beneath vehicle.
19. Grasp ends of leaf springs at rear of vehicle and carefully pull the powertrain until snubber at front of engine pan
is free of the chassis. Gently lower front of powertrain to the floor (Figure 17-11, Page 17-11). The powertrain
should be completely disconnected from vehicle and resting on floor.
