In the fall when I winterized, I managed to break the fitting at the bottom of the oil pan that goes to the drain hose. I struggled to find a fitting that swiveled so I wouldn't have to life the engine. In talking with DIM, it seemed like they had a solution with the swivel fitting, hose and everything. I received that part yesterday and the part of the elbow fitting I need to have swivel doesn't swivel. I need somewhere around an inch of clearance. So, what's going to be the best way to get that, in your opinion?
I was thinking I could straddle the span with a couple 2x4's tied together and ratchet strap the back end of the engine / trans after undoing the lag screws holding the mounts in. Would the 2x4's and the gunnels support the weight?
The other option I was thinking about would be to just turn the rear adjusters up enough to give me the clearance.
