Cradle in garage. Front view.

Cradle in garage. Side view.

With the assistance of the trailer dolly, the cradle is rolled into the garage.

In the bottom picture, you can clearly see the left side torsion bar. Also worth noting in the bottom picture is a heavy copper wire which is attached the the left side idler arm. The wire is installed to prevent the wheels from turning from side to side. ( I also have a heavy bar which is bolted to the frame, in case I wish to tow the cradle up to the car wash to rinse it off ) With the engine still in place, the tongue weight is quite heavy, but a truck will handle the Cortez cradle "trailer" rather nicely.


Next the engine and transaxle are removed from the cradle. Take a look.
