Clam And Engine Removal Cont 2


Engine Removal

 

With the engine removal, its all about ensuring that all the pipes and cables are detached.

 

- We had to un-do the water pipes and drain the system into buckets.

 

- Clip the fuel line and unplug

 

- Un-clip the gear linkage

 

- Removed all the wiring

 

- Undo all the engine mounts bolts

 

Tip: Phil suggested that we remove the manifold before lifting to ease the removal

My little boy Reece got hold of the steam cleaner and started working hard! Good to see...

Considering that the car is ten years old, she hasn't do too badly.

Once again, many thanks to Phil for giving up most of his Saturday to help me.
