Thanks Osso, great point about taking out the axle shafts. Now that my fingers move again I got back into it, picking up the rear end from where it fell
Once I took out the axle shafts it was much more manageable for the trip to the basement. The trunnion was also much heavier that I thought it would be. I'll also make sure it's secured to the jack before it goes back in.
Thanks again,
Mike
