Engine out

[bashbarnard]

Engine out top? Engine out bottom?
I have ramps and.to be fair could do either way. What would people say?

[toseland]

remove rad, bumper and grill and "easily accessible ancilliaries" and out the top

dont forget not to roll the car with the driveshafts out, as the bearings will fall to peices.

Down to personal preference - I've done 'em both ways - depends how you feel

Last couple I've done out the top, and removed whole front end, but you can go in and out without

[bashbarnard]

I was thinking to go down. Leave on pallets let car up on ramp do everything I need and lower the car back down. That way engine doesnt move. But then again I think its subframe off

[ConorTRG]

Itll fit down the bottom without touching the subframe will it not? Looks to be plently of room.

[bashbarnard]

Not sure I pulled an engine out of one a few years back but its been a while. Might fit.

[ConorTRG]

I think it will, ive always took them out the top. Next one I take out I might try dropping it out the bottom.

Bumper slam pannel and rad off bonnet off so don't risk damaging

Then pull it out as one with box

[bashbarnard]

The idea is to pull box out with it as well.

[Danny2009]

Take bonnet catch cable off latch pull it through out of slam panel

2 bolts at top on wings 13mm

2 13mm hold slam panel to chassis leg behind arch liner

Unplug connections on light all lights bumper ect will come off In one part

Take rad out then swing it out jobs a good un

Exactly this. Done a few times now and much easier this way.

Agree with above, first time i pullled an xud motor took me 3 hours and i took the front end off and pulled it out the front. Seemed easy enough to do it that way, you ony have to lift it off the top mount and swing it forwards then drop it out the gearbox mount (if you havent already removed that one) then pull it out the gap!
