Doug, I'm like you just a little late with my thoughts.
Kim, Sorry I didn't get to this sooner.
An easy way to pull the engine, if your going to pull the transmission, is to also pull the flywheel and bell housing. This way there is nothing to worry about with the steering column and Clum switch.
By the way it is easy to remove the Clum switch by just loosening the nut on the bottom, which holds it onto the headlight switch shaft, and then loosen the side bolt on the trottle control arm, and the whole thing simple slides off the bottom of the shaft.
Just my thoughts.
Gary R., Happy
