[Ncchany]

Hey guys i am going to try and remove the engine from my 914 today any advice? I am kinda scared to be honest. Is there any advice u guys can offer? I dont have a lift i am going to use a 3 ton floor jack and jackstands along with a furniture dolly. I think i am going to have trouble removing the cv joint.

One other thing - both my motor mount bolts were bent at the ends by about 5 degrees. While I have grade 8 standard bolts in a similar size, I went ahead and ordered replacements from AutoAtlanta so they'd be metric, but this was probably not all that necessary. What is necessary is using new lock washers - they are also single-use. I will say that the motor mounts in particular are a bitch to get at, as you need to get a socket on the top of the mount and it's very tight. I ended up having success using stubby metric wrenches on the top (one side is easier than the other), but what was interesting to discover was that one bolt was 17mm top and bottom, the other was 16mm top and 17mm bottom (I think, may have been the other way around). This is a risk on 40 year old cars, so if you can't seem to get a wrench or socket on something and can't see it, consider that it may be sized differently on one side versus the other.

Also, while we're on the subject of bolts, the exhaust bolts may well be rusted solid, so have some nut buster (e.g. PB Blaster) around and use it liberally. These also I replaced with new, though I kept the original transmission mount bolts as those were in good shape. So, new bolts I used on my replacement:
1. CV bolts (12?)
2. Engine mounts (2)
3. Exhaust: 9
