After looking into everything I have a plan A and B
A) I will remove the axles, hook up the lights, replace the old tires and shocks, rebuilding or replacing the front wheel cylinders doing the front brakes, cleaning and repacking the front wheel bearings, mount the brackets for the tow bar, hook up the tow bar and tow it 60 miles to a garage of a very kind MH owner. (This will also be my time to test how well it tows and how I feel about going the rest of the way home with the power plant in the coach.)
B) Only if I don't like how it tows and I have concerns will I go about removing the power plant.
Otherwise I'm attaching brake lines and hoses to the front wheel cylinders and my surge brake system which I will put on the front of the tow bar, then bleed the system and use it for the remaining part of my trip back home with the power plant in the coach.
It still be nice if I had some conpany. More so when I'm jacking up and working under in an area where I don't have freinds or family to call on - should something happen. NOT that I'm planning that something will. ggg
Dave, I got it. Tell the MRS you are going to lend your 2-jaw gear puller to a friend and you are delivering it to him. (If you happen to leave out the part that your going to Terre Haute - oh well.) GGG ha ha ha LOL
