Don't get home till 7 tonight and can't make it tomorrow as I'm leaving at 7am for the Sunshine Coast - and won't be back till night. Can help Sunday afternoon it it's any help. Be a bit difficult without a hoist - do you have an overhead attatchment opoint for a hand winch?

hey wombat.

i don't have anything handy to pull it out.

there is a bracket you can use to pull the engine out right?

i don't have that either.

You can use an engine crane, chain and tackle or drop out the subframe and lift the body over the engine. Your choice. Glad I don't have to do it lol.

hehe.

no it's easy! just out the top. every thing is off to pull it out.

No - dont lift it out by hand - its 300 kg (or what ever ??) and bending and lifting not only does damages to backs its also leads to people struggling and body panels getting damaged.

Go and hire an engine crane from a hire place or a mate. You will only need it for an hour if everything is truely undone.

Think this one through sensibly

yeh. stuff trying to pick it up.

yeh can go hire a crane, i just don't have anything to hook it onto the engine.

instead was hoping a mini lad would be near me give me a hand.

the rad is still on there is few Cm of clearance that can stay on right?

Just get a small lenght of (strong) chain - about a foot is all you need. Find the centre forward facing head stud. The go to the ones either side of it and undo the bolts - slip the chain under the bolt and washer on each of those and do the bolts up so they wont slip undone.

Its not perfect but the motor will hang in about the right position to clear everything. Make sure you dont forget the earth cable to the body from the gearbox and dont forget to undo the speedo cable as you can get to as the engine lifts.

Mike

Ive got a block & tackle (endless chain) and a bracket if you want a lend of it , but you will need a beam on something to hang it off. I'm in burpengary if that helps.

prob bit to far for me.. cheers though mate.

i might have to just hire one my self. it's only $60.

i just don't have the engine bracket.

find a piece of 5mm right angled metal and drill 2 holes in it. 1 for the head stud and the other for the D-shackle. then use mr. lifto to remove the engine
