removing engine
Matt_H:
--- Quote from: "pux" ---surely if ur breaking the disco it would make sense to get rid of the axles and drop the engine down that way and lift the body away with hi lift jacks that way all the engine and box can stay together or am i talkin rubbish :lol:

I've done that with a kit car - lift the body over the engine... but I was thining that if I did that with the disco you cant really wheel the body with hi-lift jacks! I guess some kind of trolley for the engine to drop down onto.. oh the other worry was would I be able to get to all the mountings if it's on the floor?

PUX:
i reakon if urs has a lift like mine then u would be able to ok it will be a strain on arms but yes u would have to get some sort or wheeled thing if it was me doin it i would split the transfer/gbox frm the engine and take it out with a engine crane there cheap enough to hire i belive and most tool hire places have diffrent weight cranes :D oh and dont forget to take it back to the shop :lol: :lol: :wink:

I'd better go read the splitting engine from gearbox section of the manual then!
