<VV> Was Engine Installion Now Dreaded Snout Crack

 Agreed, if the engine is already out, you can remove the final drive with the tranny in place, and that ain't all that hard. And yes, use the steel one Clark's sells, much harder to break. Don't forget the heavy split washer, so you don't trash the seal.

Colonel, If you want to do it correctly, you know the answer. If you want to 
risk the outcome, you know the answer. If you have the engine already out, 
removing the transaxle is pretty darn quick and easy to remove and then split 
apart. I like doing things properly. I like driving my Corvairs long distance. 
My vote is do it correctly. Tell us your decision.

>Thanks to all for advice on the engine only installation.  Bad news--closer 
inspection as I was putting on throw out bearing showed a crack in the snout.  
It looks like a piece could fall out if I touched it,  Crack extends 7/16 of an 
inch from end of snout.  Any fixes?  JB weld? Or am I faced with dropping the 
trans axle and having a new snout installed?  I'm afraid o f the answers!
