Guys, there is no reason to be afraid of getting under something that is PROPERLY and SAFELY lifted and blocked up. Why, just today I had a Kenworth dump truck front end three feet off the floor while I slid the trans back under it. What if it fell? Well, why would it fall? I know what I'm doing... Just be careful, think about what you're doing, don't be in a hurry. Some of the above stories illustrate another absolute rule. Don't be alone when you're doing these things. You may need help, at least to hand you a phone so you can dial 911.
