to anyone who has taken the snout off. i know there is a few of you. any tricks? all bolts out and it wont budge. i dont wanna take out the BFH and beat on it. maybe heat up the mating surface to soften the sealer?

thanks

 

I believe TIM Z said it was a pain in the ***, but it can be done. Might want to get some info from him.

 

i did pm him but hadnt heard back from him yet. at this point i dont think you would even need bolts and itd run fine on the truck

 

It just has crankcase sealer and two locating pins. It is tight, but it will come off with some help. Dont use anything to pry it apart! The two surfaces are machined almost perfect- if you gouge one of them you will have problems...

 

looked at it tonight and in 2 mins it was off. i did nothing different then i did before and much less force. who knows. i guess it felt it was ready to come off by this time. thanks guys
