[DeTomaso] Engine/ZF pull - instructions & recommendations?

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Jack, 

I have used the modified bolts-as-studs to guide the ZF to the block and it works well. I am not sure exactly how the allen bolts would aid the removal-install process. I will have to take a gander at that this evening. Thanks for the tips. 

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
