removing a cvh
Hi, this should be an easy one! i am removing the engine from a 91 xr2i and am a real novice but you gotta start somewhere right? so, read up all i can got a head full of info but one thing is holding me back, the advice i have been given is to drop the engine and box to the floor and withdraw it but it seems it would be easier to take it out up and over with the box already off. any advice? cheers in advance!

On my esy mk4 I dropped it out the bottom, but then I wanted to change the box at the same time.
Theres more space for it to go out the bottom. Then again, it seems a bit overkill if you're just changing the engine and you'd need to setup your gear selector doing it this way which can be a pain.
Also, if you drop it with the box attached you've got the extra work of puling out the driveshafts, which entails moving the hubs..etc.etc..
