Just get the front of the car as high as possible on blocks etc then drop the engine out the bottom on a trolley jack. easiest way.

engine cranes can be hired cheaply enough from any hire shop.

easy peasy!








NO PROBLEM!!!lol i know it doesnt have a head on top of the engine but would only require lifting the car up another 30cm or so, not a problem with blcoks of wood!
and gearbox was still attached to...engine needs to go in the bin now, getting in the way!

hope that gives you an idea matey!

Take the nut off the TCA and use a ball joint seperator to pop the joint and then just pull the hub and strut till the shaft pops out
