I have looked to see if this has been posted before but could not find a thread.
What is the best way to remove the engine and gearbox, is there a cradle like the one for the 4 cylinder. Should I remove the heat exchangers first or can I use them for support. |

As already mentioned, with the HE's installed, it's a piece of cake.
I use 2-8's across a motorcycle lift. I've done this several times. Of late, once the motor is resting on the lift, I can jack up the car to get the clearance I need (not having a two post lift as some others). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
