I thought that it would be just as easy maybe a little harder just to pull out the engine on its own. Once into the job i can understand why you would pull them out as one. I was thinking that i would just undo the exhurst at the cat ,undo the torge converter once the cover was removed and undo the trans lines at the trans. NO NO I was wrong. To get to the torge converter bolts had to remove the engine pipes .Then the trans tubes were hard to unboult from the trans. In the end stuffed the trans tubes when pulling the engine out. Now I will have to do the reverse when going back in. Maybe i missed a few tricks but I dont think so. If anyone else is about to do the same DONT. Take it out in one piece, I can see why now. If anybody has some spare trans tubes thay want to sell in Melbourne South east (F.T.G ) Would be great
