engine removal help
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:54 pm
Of course, the project is progressing much slower than expected but I
am finally ready to pull the engine out of my '70 Plus 2. I have never
done this before so I am looking for some basic guidence. Here what I
have done so far - removed everything that needs to be removed except:
1. the clutch slave cylinder. Somehow, it's just fused to the clutch
housing. The circlip is off but it won't budge nor rotate. Even the
air hammer and chisel won't budge it. So I figure, since I am pulling
the engine only (leaving the transmission in place), I really don't
need to remove the clutch slave cylinder at this time. Is that correct
2. haven't separated the engine from the transmission since I assume I
need to support the engine before I do that.
Can I remove the engine on my own or do I need an assistant?
I have a cherry picker and a load balancer. I am wondering where to
screw the load balancer into the engine to attach it. I have heard of
people hanging a sling off the load balancer; is that a better way to go?
