Default bottom

my buddy and I just got through about two months ago putting my drive train back into my car. i think in my own opinion thats is easier to pull from the bottom. if you want me to write you a few pointers on what needs to be undone other than the obvious send me a pm and i will write you a lenghty but helpful messege. this is my opinion.
