Hi all,
I'm removing the engine from my 914 and found some instructions about engine removal. On article says to "disconnect alternator harness". No pictures or other information. What does that mean? engine tins need to be removed? Any pics? Thanks! |

I have done it both ways several times. If you can get the back end high enough, it's easier to drop it and pull it out. The pelican way works, but it s harder to get under the car. Your resting the engine and trans on a furniture cart, roughly 4" off the ground and have to get to the 4 bolts underneath. Pain in the ass... And then raise the car and slide it out. Versus having the car way up in the air with a floor jack. Do a search on floor jack and you can see some nice photos and jack recommendations.
