I would really prefer not to have to drop the subframe. I bought a tranny jack (the type that's not Falcon's preferred style of intimate contact) from Harbor Stank so I can drop it I have to. But I'd really rather not.

Thoughts?

Get one of these or possibly put a long blade on a jigsaw

Betty, it’s about the size of a die-grinder & easily used with 1 hand

jchammond · 01-22-2020, 05:21 AM

Man my stomach is bubbling, after all that lasagna & then apple pie...I’ll be dropping off an EW at the Super Bowl

When I finally get in position to work on mine, I’m dropping subframe, fuel cell & all

Dont be scared about using the sawzall.. BUT make sure you dont have ANY burrs. Check, double check, and check again for burrs!

+1 for this. Rusty and I did mine, and I brought the z1 tool with me to try out. We gave it a whirl. I guess in theory it would work if you have enough room to really push on it, car on a lift for example, but in practice, Rusty's method produces quick effective results.

Also Betty, I wouldn't worry too much about a cut into the subframe. You should feel a sort of pop through the sawzall blade when you cut through the bushing shell. At worst, you'll mildly score the surface of the subframe.

Other than fog, what's actually in the cage?

Side note, after your reference a while back, I looked up Tegu's. They are pretty neat. Now I just need to figure out how to sell the idea of getting one as a pet to my wife...

This cage will have a gargoyle gecko. Small and simple diet.
