Nah mate...just remove you're bonnet...disconnect battery..remove all ancillarys...remove headlamp and radiator and grill (dont have to but makes damging them less likely) undo your exhaust, remove starter motor and throttle cable and clutch cable...unbolt bell housing...undo the two engine mounting nuts (i prefer to undo the underside nuts) and then hoist it all out complete...easy. I removed my engine last january..during a snow blizzard (I didnt want to beleive the weather man when I started the job..he turned out to be right for a change lol)...stll wasnt a hard job in those conditions.
