pull a part?
Can I take a wagon to carry the rearend? I know to take tools. I tried to call and got an automated system, and tried to e-mail but it would not go through. Also is there a tag or anything that tells you the ratio for the rearend?

Most likely they will assist you with a fork lift. I think in the case of the heavier stuff they render certain kinds of help due to liability. At least it seems logical they would. They may even move it into a work area and elevate it for you to get it off. I don't know this for sure as I have never gone to a Pull-A-Part yet. I have only talked to others that have gone. I am sure someone on here has had the experience and will bring you up to speed on their policies in regard to removing larger and heavier components. It would be nice to know if they allow hand trucks. They have a website and it lists all their locations and inventory. They also have phone numbers. It would be best just to call them and ask what they do. At any rate if I were you I'd take along a friend to help you. CLICK HERE to go to their homepage.

I went to a Pull-A-Part in Memphis about two weeks ago. They had everything up off the ground. Had wheel burrels and had a lift truck in the yard.

They also have a contact us feature. Use that to ask you questions. It could be their automated system is on because they are busy.

If the wagon is allowed (I don't see why not) make sure it has floating tires....ground is probably not the greatest. Hopefully they have a Bobcat or something to bring the axle out of there.
There should be a tag, too.

Dave, maybe so. My experience is mostly from the local yard, where it is nothing but MN clay, on a slope, and lots of Alder brush keeping the water at the surface. Then again, the county is 100% wetlands, lol.

If you have questions about Pull-A-Part, CLICK HERE and read commentary and watch the videos. The Cleveland TV report is interesting. BTW, I saw a guy with a wheel barrow si I't say a hand truck or wagon is OK.

The pull a part here in our area has a cart and 4 wheeler plus wheelbarrows for you to use. But take a friend to help you load it. I just put my rearend across a wheelbarrow and rolled it to the checkout. How do I put this..... They don't work for pull a part but there are always unemployed people there that will help you for a price...... Be sure to take metric tools. I made the mistake for only taking a small set of metric tools and a ton of standards. The bolts on the rear end are metric. A guy next to me was stripping out an engine and he let me borrow some metric sockets. Also be sure to grab the brake line connection attached to the rear housing. I was in a hurry and just cut it, 22 bucks at the auto parts store and it would have come with the rearend that I only gave 65 dollars for. There is a tag attached to the cover that will tell you the ratio. Hope this helps.

The yards here are sand, and even a wheelbarrow is a chore to push with any kind of load. They will allow you to drive into the yard in some cases, if you want to risk shredding your tires. For a rear end, your best bet is to get a couple friends to go along. Even if the wheelbarrow is available and works, it's going to be real clumsy, a couple extra hands will be welcome.

The pull a part here has wheelbarrows and wagons with big tires that you can use. Everything is well organized and fairly easy to get to. Great Place. Got my Ranger seat there for $20. Seat was in good shape.
