Re: Pulling an engine/tranny out of a van advice...I know someone has done it??
On and S-10 4x4 you have to unbolt the left side of the body and loosen the right side (mount bolts) and raise the body and block it up to get the trans and transfer out or back far enough to change a flex plate.
That gives another thought though, you may be able to unbolt the body bolts leaving the back two in but loose, then jack the body off the frame several inches and block it up and pull the engine out the front a lot easier. That might not be difficult if you have an impact wrench. That is if you have a serious need to pull the engine out the front rather than the side, such as tight working quarters .
We should have given you enough ideas that one will work in your situation.
