question: tube drop imminent


Adam Birnbaum
 

I'm about ready to drop my torque tube. Everything is unbolted except the
tube flanges. My question regards engine movement.

I would imagine that the engine will rock backward assuming a nose up
attitude when the tube is removed. What concerns should I have? In
particular:

1) Are there any particular components that typically snag when the engine
leans back?
2) Does the cross brace have to be removed?
3) Is it advisable to place a jack under the pan to keep the engine from
moving?
4) Any last minute words of advice before the drop?
