so now with the axle nuts off and the passenger side axle out im working on the drivers side. last time i did a motor swap in this car it was just a replacement engine so i was able to leave the axles hooked up to the spindals and hooked the drivers side up when the new motor was going back in. Im wondering if i can pull the old motor out with the axle hooked up to the spindle and change them out with the motor out of the car and then hook the new axle up the same way while putting in the new motor?
