With the transmission, a lift helps a lot. You just undo the tranny mount,
walk over & shove the tail shaft over with a long pry bar (4' galvanized
steel fence post) & wedge something in there to keep it in place.
Wish I still had access to a rack myself.

where you used to be able to get away with most any horrendous crime or do

He "buys carbon offsets", so that makes his consumption all right.
If you have more money than fortitude, you can just buy yourself

Complete B2 replacement with new seals can be done "in about 10
minutes"... with the transmission out of the car. :^)
