Hi, I need to do some repairs on the engine in my mini, fix an oil leak and dodgy sincro ring but I have no way to get engine out (have block and tackle but nothing to hook on) and don't know how to remove the large bearings in gearbox without damaging them is there any one in Brisbane that can help me out with this???

Take all the accessories and bolt ons off your motor and lift it out with yer hands, worked for me

is it dry suspension...lift the body over the engine and subframe assembly...

hire a crane for 50 for 24hrs from kennards like i did the other day.

I have done the lifting out by hand thing before more hassle that it's worth the kennards hire sounds alright will have to give them a call. Any help on gearbox anyone?

go to supercheap and buy and engine hoist. on sale for $250 at the moment until the end of the weekend. You own a mini, the engine will be out time and time again as you learn new stuff to do to it.
It is worth it, trust me.
I have just bought one for myself as i had moved houses and it was time to get one as i was in the same boat as you, nowwhere for the block and tackle i had been using.
