5302 did a good job of breaking down steps .........the only tricks i can think off is ...........

make sure moter stay's in line with the trans till you have them fully split..........use a tilting hoist or a bottle jack under moter and a trans jack under tranns.........it's easy to bind up the input shaft when spliting moter........if the moter is tilted strait with the trans and the transmission is properly supported it should come apart reletivly easy..........don't force it

when raising moter go slow and every couple of pumps check to make sure it isn't catching on anything

when puting moter back together same as above make sure there strait with each other (moter + trans)make sure it isn't binding

,if it's a stick make sure the clutch is centered,if its an auto make sure the key or notch on input will line up relitivly close in the converter.........use a ratchet on the front pully(harmonic balancer) to turn moter a little to make sure the obsticles (clutch teeth or notch)will line up ............

before you lower moter take a good look at input ,get an idea of the lenth of things ,this will help you to recognize what the moters catching on if it dosn't slide together ......what ever you do don't force it together....it should slide relitivly easy till about the last 3/8 -1/2 inch ........once you get the bolts in ,they should tighten semi easy till the moters tight with the trans

well thats about the most usefull things i can think off .........good luck and remember pe patient ,don't rush ,and don't force things .......it will pay in the long run to take your time ,and if your getting frustrated ,thats a good time to take a brake
