removing engine

(1/4) > >>

Matt_H:
Ok I've built a kit car and do a lot of my own mechanics but never removed a disco engine and gearbox... The whole lot has to come out.

Does anyone have a capable engine crane that lives anywhere near me - or perhaps even someone willing to lend a hand (with or without engine crane?

Thanks guys
Matthew

ask a farmer with a fore-end loader and a steady hand

much stronger than them trolley cranes

esp if they own a jcb or a loadall.

however i think you can split them and not need to get both out at the same time in that you can split the gb and enigne and get the gearbox out from underneath

would save you a lot of weight in lifting and leverage cos it sticks out a bit

I've no idea what a fore-end loader is even!

They can all come out seperatly or together - I'm breaking the car so no real bones either way although I need to do it PDQ.

strapping young lad:
you see tractors with a bucket at the front sticking out

a bit like the front bit of a jcb

well thats a fore-end loader (or front-end loader depending on where you are from)

Something along these lines...
