[DeTomaso] ZF ring-gear safety wire

My great plan to inspect 6143 for safety wire using a borescope though 
the drainhole didn't work out.
I just can't flex the fibre sharply enough to get to the backside of the 
ring-gear.

So, the bottom cover must come off, and the questions are:

1. Can I just undo the mounts at the ZF and jack it up 2 inches to clear 
the 2 tension bolts (#901)?

2. Does anyone have PDFs of Jack's Jan96 and July02 newsletter pieces on 
safety wiring the ring-gear screws (#931)?
    (just in case I don't find any safety wire, though at 84,000 miles 
you'd think it would have already done the bad thing)
