Re: [alfa] Milano driveshaft / rear engine mount issue

["The Baylys" <dabaylys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It was long long ago but I'm sure I managed to replace mine without pulling
the bellhousing.  IIRC I jacked the front of the sump and wedged the rear of
the bellhousing down to enable the use of a long bolt, a large socket and a
machined plate to pull the mount.  I did have the propshaft out at the time
for donut replacement.  Loosening the engine mounts would probably help.

This was on a '79 GTV, so I don't know if a V6 Milano would allow enough
engine tilt.
