Some things to think about: I can't speak to the timed gears which I doubt you have based on the stack of washers allowing the use of long bolts. If you know anyone that has a transmisson jack you can borrow that would help a bunch. They sell transmission jacks at Harbor Freight for about $35 which would work fine for no more than you are going to use it. The axels only need to come out about 8" for you to pull the pumpkin. Once you have it out clean both the gasket areas of the pumpkin with brake cleaner or Lacquer thinner. I like using black RTV silicone instead of the gasket but to each their own. I use a caulking gun with a tube of the black silicone from NAPA #550 (or something like that). If you have trouble getting your fill plug out you may have to put a little heat on it with a propane tourch using MAP GAS. I think it will take 2 1/2 quarts of 90w-140w gear lube.

Good luck with your project.
