[size=3]How high do I need jack the car up to take the engine out from the bottom? Does anyone have a diagram for removing the engine....what bolts & where to remove, want to drop tranny & motor at once...hopefully.
Also where do I look or go to get a "repair kit" for the HELL HOLE. Told there is a metal replacment type piece? Thanks all, M&T914 |

I don't know the excact height but it's in the 18" range. Depending o the jack or dolly that you are going to use to set the engine on will determine the height.
most of the bolts and nuts will be 10-14 mm. with the exception of the main motor mount and the trans. mount bolts which are 17mmIIRC. The motor is not difficult to remove, just make sure everything is disconnected and it will drop right down. with NO experience at doing this, it's about a 2.5 hour job. For the seasoned "pro" 45min to an 1.5 hours alone. |
