Since you are replacing clutch and ring gear you might as well
separate the transmission from the engine now to make removal easier.

Some like to remove it as a unit but myself I generally do not.
Granted it is a bit easier to mate tranny and engine when it is out
but it throws CG off or unit pulling it and there is more to
disconnect to get it all out tool. Unless the engine really needs to
be out, I would consider dropping Tranny and Tcase out and leaving
engine in. I would replace rear main seal on engine regardless of
appearance while it is aparts and any tranny/Tcase seal too given its
age while you have it apart.

See the lock bolt that lets the shaft holding the levers slide out:

Re: Pulling engine from 1965 CJ5 - still need some help
 

Thanks Bill,

That's just what I did yesterday. Loosened the locknut and pulled the shaft.
Tomorrow I'll pull the engine and trans. as one unit.

WALCK'S 4WD (http://www.walcks4wd.com) was recommended as a good place to buy
the clutch, ring gear etc.. Prices seem fair - anyone suggest another source to
check.

Thanks
Larry
