so i've got the engine ready to come out. i've disconnected everything. it pulls away form the tranny about 1/4" at the bottom and and maybe an 1/8" at the top. the damn thing won't come any farther. decided to try it with a picker tomorow but am i missing something? or anyone got some tricks for me? figure the cherry picker is trick #1. :D

Pull the tranny first....then undo the motor mounts and then it will come out very easy....Dont for get the fuel line

i was hoping not hear pull the trans. :flipoff2: it seemed like the simple solution when we yanking on it. :D i'll give it whirl tomorow

No picker???? How are you trying to do it? :rasta:

with our hands. :D the front clip is gone.

can be tough holding it and prying on it at the same time:D gives meaning to akward:flipoff2:

You do not need to pull the trany to pull the motor. Just slide the motor off the input shaft, and then it will come out. Should take about 1 hour to pull the motor.

I would make sure that it's not running...:smokin:

just a stupid ???????????????????? did you remove the inspection cover that has two 10MM bolts holding it on its a small black cover on the bottom of the tranny kinda hidden and most of the time forgotten about when taking the motor out just pulled mine and forgot to pull mine off sounds like what you maybe having prob. with


Dan Johnson :confused: :confused: :confused:

Keep pulling on it...if it doesnt come out get a bigger hammer....it will come out eventually!

yeah, we tried to do it with that cover plate still attached. i thought it would slip right out after i caught that but nothing. i think its cause when we're yanking on it 's not straight? i'm just gonna get a picker over tomorow and try again. it's coming wheather it likes it or not. :D

coming out... that is. just sounds a little dirty if you don't know i'm talking about the engine in the last post. :D



hey moto.... allow me to welcome you properly now.



:flipoff2: welcome to pirate:flipoff2:

Here is the list of stuff to take off :
*4 bolts holding engine to trans
(sounds like you have them off)
*2 bolts holding the flywheel cover plate
(sounds like you have them off):D
*2 bolts holding exhaust
(I hope you have them off)
*2 bolts holding each motor mount
(I hope you have them off)
*2 bolts holding the starter
(It sounds like you do not have the top one off)
:rolleyes:

its a 3 step process

1.) undo engine mounts

2.) roll truck

3.) pick up the enige and the ice chest

4.) roll truck back (optional)

:D

Yea!:smokin:

I have yanked several of these engines out. In my opinion, it is much faster and easier to pull the tranny and engine out together as a unit, THEN beat the thing apart :D

then just skip step 3

:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

:beer:

i have had the same thing happen to me:mad: I was jerking on the motor while it was up on the cherry picker and it would not come. then I saw the bolts:rolleyes: :smokin:

IS IT OUT YET:smokin: :D

i'll do it later tonight :flipoff2:

woohoo! got that biatch out. just had to pry it a bit more :D

I have the 1.6 in my zuk and keep ripping stock motor mounts. It is pretty funny when the plenum hits the hood. Where can I get a set of these heavy duty ones??


Thanks
