v6 engine removal. up to the last stage: mounts

[pow3rslave]

just not sure which nuts i need to undo to lift the engine and box out. i've done everything up until this bit bit don't want to get it wrong and drop an engine on my face.

do i need to undo these nuts, looking from the top down


or these nuts looking from underneath

[Morton]

Undo the four from underneath, and the engine goes straight up. That's how I've always done it

[Pub247]

yep thats the easy way not so easy putting it back in but lucky you dont need to

[centy]

undo bottom nuts compltely and loosen drivers side top soit come out easier.
the mounts are at a angle so can take a bit of pressure to pull out so i loosen the drivers side to make it easier.

[pow3rslave]

cool thanks all.
didn't want to have to undo the passenger side top, cos i don't think i could reach both

[Morton]

As Pub said, it's easier to do it all up the other way around. It's a bitch to slide both the bottom bolts in when refitting the engine, so you're better off fitting the mounts, and then bolting them onto the engine when replacing it all If you know what I mean...

oh those mounts dont look fun at all. v8s are so easy
