If it has been decided that the engine must be removed for repair, some preliminary steps must be taken.
It is important to carefully prepare a suitable work area. It is best to work in a specialized workshop. It is also necessary to leave enough space around the car. If there is no suitable workshop or garage, at least prepare a clean area of concrete or asphalt for work.
Clean the engine compartment and engine before removing.
For work, it is necessary to prepare a winch or an A-beam. Make sure that the safety factor of the equipment allows you to lift the weight of the engine and accessories.
If you are removing the engine for the first time, you will need an assistant. The advice and help of someone more experienced will not hurt. There are many times when it is not possible for one person to do all the lifting of the engine from the car at the same time.
Plan ahead. Prepare all tools and equipment in advance.
Be careful when removing and installing the engine.
