After looking at several of the latest ideas for engine removal devices I begain thinking of another option. What if I had a set wheels that were bolted to the engine or maybe the engine crossbar that I fabricated? I rounded up some angles and some caster wheels and came up with a plan. I welded 3/16" x 2" x 2" angles to a 1/4" plate that I bolted the caster wheel to. I first bolted the angles through the crossbar than I removed the engine. Once the engine was out of the car I removed the crossbar and welded the small angles to the bar. Than they are always in the correct location and makes things much easier. Here is how it works...
1. Jack up the car so it is level. 2. Bolt the angles with the wheels to the crossbar. 3. Place the floor jack under the front of the engine. 4. Place my cheap tranny jack under the tranny. 5. Unbolt the engine crossbar bolts and the rear tranny bolts and lower the engine to the ground. 6. Jack up the car high enough that the engine can clear the car. 7. Roll it out. 8. Have a cold imported beer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) BTW, I removed the engine from start to finish in 45 minutes by myself. Could have been quicker if I had all the tools laid out and took the body sides off. (4 engine bolts, 4 wires at the dizzy, cl/th cables, fuel line, 2 wires to the starter, 2 axles, shift rod) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Attached image(s) |
