It was not stated here by Zane and others but you have to be aware that even tho the front end is supported by the wide axle and it would appear to be stable like the rear half, it is not. Because the front axle is pinned in the middle and "floats" on this pin, the only thing that keeps it fron turning sideways is the radius arms and being bolted to a solid rear half. It usually wont turn over when split but will scare you to death and maybe get you hurt and make the job more difficult at reassembly. This is why Zane and others said support it by the steering shaft. It keeps it from tilting sideways. If you don"t have an overhead support to tie off to, you will have to really block the front half in a way to keep it from tilting. I have driven wooden blocks/wedges under the front axle between the axle and front engine support as well as supporting the back of the engine. This helps some but supporting from the top (steering shaft) is better. Work safe, don"t get hurt.
