Removing 4efte from gt turbo

[Glanzacoley]

What's the best way?from above or below?

[daniel_g]

You got a crane or not ?

Ave done it about 6-7 times now, drop em down the way onto a pallet or tyres. Normally leave the box and shafts still in. Aslong as the car is high enough so you can drag the engine out at the wheelarch or front cross member.

Yes I've got a crane guys

Then its a 50/50. Ive done it out the top with the crane, you just need to take the bonnet off.

Putting it back in is a lot easier with the crane though

Even with a crane is drop it out the bottom so much easyier! I'd use the crane to life the front end up tho depending on what jack u got.

Crane and drop in from above to refit tho

Personally find it less time consuming to take it out the top. Plus saves lifting the car to a silly height to drag it out and scraping the garage floor and sump etc. Personal preference though. See what works best for you when it comes to it. Both ways work just as well.

this is probably true also depending on equipment, i take mine out below but obviously dont run into these issues in a workshop with lifts etc.

Done 6 starlet engines on the deck and a good few more on other motors all dropped onto pallets and tyres. No damage at all

Do miss my work ramp badly when doing jobs at the house though lol.

[Phil]

Well I'm far from efficient at it. If anyone else is there I'll be the first to step aside and let them at it lol

undo the gearbox bolts and lift engine out up top put a jack under the gbox and jack up gentle and engine will come out easy

you need to put the jack ob the belhousing lip/edge

i drop the engine, box and shafts out in a oner. saves having to balance the box and also easyer to refit. i jack mine up at the front and put it on the highest settings of my halfrauds 2t stands, lower the engine and box with the crane, then slide out from under the wheel arch. Do it on my own this way, takes around 45mins to drop.

I've.lifted out the top and also dropped out the bottom, do.what ever you feel will be easier for you
