Thread: Rocking motor forward

If I need to rock the motor forward for the back plugs, 1)Do I leave it in park if I use ratchet straps? 2)Do I leave it in park if I simply push the car forward and use the e-brake to hold the motor in place? 3)Do I leave it in park if I just pull it forward with a pry bar and use the extra hole to hold the motor in place?

Thanks in advance. It has not been a good year for me so far.

Leave it in park if using ratchet strap. Do the same if using the parking brake. Or you could man up and just reach back there and change the plugs

the hole in the top mount works ok, you take the bolts out of both dog bones, engine side, then just pull the engine forward by hand, stick the bolt from the dog bone in the hole to lock it forward.

Will the car "inch or move" forward with the straps?

Thanks for the quick reply.

it may, as your pulling the engine forward and turning the tires cause its in park, but we're talking inches tops.

Thanks guys, the beer is on me tonight!
