As one that suffers from back pain daily just as Red mentions his dad does I would suggest getting help also. Even if you don't have to bend or your a big strong guy or whatever. Ask yourself is it really worth a lifetime of back pain?

Something else to consider, what kind of damage are you going to do to the trunk area of the cougar when you attempt to do this solo?

Good points all. I'm sure someone at the recycler can help me load it, afterall I probably wouldn't be the first to ask. And I can get someone to help at home too. Then it can sit on my bench for a month or two while I install the TCI kit I've got my eye on.

I hoisted the T5 in my trunk by myself, and the axle...

I fail to lift stuff since it's normally [much] heavier than me. :hick:

You may want to spend 2 minutes and save yourself bleeding head wounds, scratched paint, and cherry-picker clearance issues, by removing the trunk lid first.

The T5 is really light. Hell I can bench press it, and I am not a big guy. The axle on the other hand is heavy. I threw one on the roof of my '84 parts car after I pulled it.

Can you drain most of the fluid first?If so,do it,and,either remove the torque converter,or fix it so it won't fall out (assuming you're getting it as well).Plug the rear of it as well.I hauled one home in my trunk,and went to Wal Mart and bought a pack of those puppy training pads and lined the floor of the trunk.They absorb great.Good luck ol' boy.

I've got no need for a stock converter I already have a B&M one that I plan to keep using. So that should save me some weight. As for the fluid I'd hope they'd drain the thing before giving it to me but results may vary I guess.
