Crasher 3 Posted July 14, 2006 Disconnect the battery and jack up the car and carefully support the car on axle stands bearing in mind you are going to be shifting the engine around. Undo the top 15-mm headed nut and undo the 17-mm and 13-mm headed lower bolts. Lift up the front of the engine with a trolley jack and slide out the mount. As the Haynes comic says, "reassembly is the reverse of dismantling". Be careful though, an engine on the head hurts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
