So after some "spirited" driving I killed the front guibo on the trusty Milano. I ordered up a new one and a new rear engine mount. Got everything removed (exhaust, front rear flange nuts/bolts, exhaust heat shield, center bearing carrier nuts, shifter loose from shift rod). I can't get the darn thing to budge.
I've read that you have to get the rear loose first. I found a few tips online. One mentioned tipping the transaxle (for a GTV6) but I can't lift the rear very far in the Milano. I removed the watts linkage and rear trans mount to attempt this. Tried lifting from the deDion and the rear bottom of the transaxle. Just won't tip far enough.
I think I will just remove the rear donut from the rear shaft and try to get that out. Notice rear has a few cracks...how critical is that to replace (I know, while I'm in there but these parts are $$$$).
Here's a pic:

Thanks...tried to search but nothing seemed to address this issue. :laugh2:
