Engine Removal Procedure

[Macahooch]

Gents,

I have the unfortunate task of removing my 2.4 engine. I have released all wiring and pipes and split it from the gearbox, however the sump fouls on the front axle and doesn't allow the engine to come forward enought to clear the spigot shaft. Is there a step by step procedure anywhere that lays out what needs to be removed to facilitate engine removal. I'm seriously thinking of throwing my hand in on this one. Any help would be much appreciated in advance.

Regards



Tony

Hi Zippy,

I will have to I think, bloody monumental take in its self, but if thats what it takes then so be it. I just need a little guidance from the wise as its one thing after another.

According to the manual the transmission has to be split from engine before removing the latter from the vehicle.

Thanks to all

Thanks Guys for taking the time. I was not relishing the thought of fighting the gearbox but it will be worth it in the long run me thinks.

Thanks again:clap:clap:clap

There ya go...I should have used the word 'separated'
One can 'split' but does this mean one has 'seperated'..hmmm must ask an old girlfriend that question
