Removing the Engine

Now time for the engine to come out, I have removed all the wiring, pipes, exhaust and electrics.

To start with get yourself a crane that will handle the weight of the engine I used a three tonne but that was a bit dramatic. Setup the crane over the engine at about 30 - 60 cm away from the top of the engine. Bolt a chain/strap to one side off the engine using either engine sub mount or the exhaust manifolt boltsthen over the hook on the crane to the other side. Best to cross over a few times to be safe. Now crank up the crane till the chains become tight. Now undo the rubber engine mounts and under the car remove the gearbox cross member.

As you crank up the engine pull the engine towards the front of the car so that it disengages the drive shaft, also making sure the gear lever falls through the hole. Once all is out of the way it should lift up with little effort.
With the engine out of the way you should have steering rack in clear view, brake servo, and the heater exchange pipes.

Steering Rack. The best way to do this is to remove the two bolts from the back of the cross member that holds the two together. when the steering rack is free, undo the bolt on the shaft then the shaft and rubber bush should seperate from each other. This will enable you to get out the Exhaust manifold.

Brake Servo. To start go in the car and remove pin from the back of the brake pedal that joins it to the piston. Then remove a wheel and at the back of the caliper remove the bolt that connects the brake hose. Empty the brake fluid into a jar. When empty undo the pipes from the bottom of the brake servo. Now only three screws on the bulk head separate you from freedom.

Heater Exchange. Now on the bulk head just under the front windscreen is a large piece of metal that straps round the front of the car. This is held in place by bolts under the windscreen and on the bulk head. You may need a impact screwdriver as they were tough. When this is out of the way you will be able to see where the pipes connect to the bulk head. Now you can remove the pipes.
