C.C. Rider Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Thinking about removing the engine in my B1D-126 over xmas break and was wondering if anyone here has any tips or suggestions on the removal? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48Dodger Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Front end "dog house" removal youtube video (s) Here's some videos I did 7 years ago on how to remove the front sheet metal. Really helps to clear the way for engine removal. I realize you have a "D" size truck, but the deal is the same. 48D p.s. hope you enjoy the others videos too.

C.C. Rider Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 are there any rebuild videos for this engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyFifty Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 If you need a video, then a rebuild may not be in your interest to tackle alone, a shop manual is what your really going to need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Dodger Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I've been working on videos that cover things that are not made obvious in the manuals. For example the lowest midline manifold nut that is "hidden". The benefit of the videos is the fact that a lot of trucks/engines have been sitting around for a long time, so parts that should loosen up are "frozen" and can cause confusion to someone attempting their first teardown. Sometimes a video is the next best thing to a classroom, which is where most textbooks/manuals are reviewed and explained. I'm hardly a teacher, but I do like sharing what I know. The beauty of a tool like Youtube is you get to hear back from other viewers. If something has been missed or rings true, you may read that in the comment section. I believe you can say the same thing about a forum, its not the manual, but its a great way to "talk" the problem out. 48D Edited December 22, 2017 by 48Dodger 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.C. Rider Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) I've got the top pretty much cleared of any clearance issues, just having a hard time find out how to unhook the engine from the bell-housing Edited December 24, 2017 by C.C.

I can only also assume that you have disconnected the drive shaft and removed the transmission . Now you will need to support the rear of the engine , probably with blocks of wood because the engine is supported by the rear mounts on the bell housing . Assuming the you do not want to remove your clutch and flywheel at this time , there are a couple of steel dowell pins that you must drive in part way to get the clearance needed to now remove the bell housing after removing the bolts . You also might have enough room to pull the engine and bell housing together but you would need to angle everything downward to the rear when pulling and then straighten the load back to level to get the load out . A load leveler can be used for this purpose . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
