Tomorrow morning I have to take the spindle motor off a 89' VMC 40. Fadal just installed a 6 to 2 belt conversion kit for me and during the install he discovered a during an earlier repair a tech stripped both mounting bolts in the motor.
I just need lift it enough for clearance to install a helicoil on both sides. The plan is to support the motor on the sheet metal on either side then Z- untill i have the room to work. I am sure this will be really easy right up to the point I start.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

best advise I can give is to use a cherry picker or over head crane or a-frame to hold the motor. They are heavy and get away from you in a heart beat. Be cautious!!!
