It is very important to choose a place to carry out such work. It must provide the necessary working space, as well as the safety of the vehicle. If it is not possible to use a workshop or garage for this purpose, in a pinch you can limit yourself to a flat horizontal area with a concrete or asphalt surface.
Before starting work, wash the engine and the entire engine compartment. This will allow you to better organize your work and keep your tools clean.
You will need a lift, hoist or winch. The lift must be rated for the weight of the engine and transmission. It is especially important to ensure the safety of rigging operations, since a falling engine can be catastrophic for your car and possibly for you as well.
If you don't have experience with this type of work, you need an assistant. Advice or help from a specialist would also be helpful. In many cases, it is simply impossible for one person to simultaneously perform several operations required to remove the engine.
Plan all work in advance. Buy or borrow all the necessary tools and equipment. In addition to a hoist or winch, it is recommended to have a trolley with a jack and a full set of open-end and socket wrenches on hand (their list is given in the appendix), wooden blocks, a large number of rags for cleaning up spilled liquids and solvents for cleaning parts.
Accept that you won't have to use your car for a while. If during the repair process, types of work are discovered that require machine tools. You will have to contact a workshop or service station. Just in case, check whether the service station can quickly fulfill your order if necessary.
Be extremely careful when removing and installing the engine. Rash actions can have serious consequences. Take the time to think through the entire sequence of operations and this will help you successfully complete any, even the most complex, job.
