Hey guys, i just got my 97 back to my house and i'm ready to swap the engines, and i'm hoping i don't have near as hard as a time as i did pulling the 94's.. i was talking around to some of you on here and i heard the reason i was having such a hard time is because i didn't use a leveler. if someone could explain to me what a leveler does and how to use it, i would greatly appreciate it because i'm going to go out and pull the engine in the next hour so i can start the swap... thanks ahead of time guys!

16 chain links on the drivers side hook, 4-5 on the passanger side.
use a jack to lower the drivers side down, and it comes right out. no need for the leveler. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
