Help removing my 13B engine

[Sean]

I\'ve got quite a collection of wasps, bees, moths, small birds and a variety of other small animals and body parts!!!!:rolleyes:

[grinder]

that really doesnt surprise me !!

and why are you hear talking to me - you should be out getting the engine back in !

the meet is on the 8th March

[Sean]

I\'m working 50 yrds from the house in a car park, so I can\'t take my tools out with me so every time something gets bolted on, I come back in and reply.... so there!!

Any way are you going to be at Warrington on the 8th?

I\'m going to try to scab a lift from the missus, if my precious doesn\'t work by then!!

[grinder]

ah right - that makes perfect sense then !!

the 8th - yup - im 99% sure that i am going ! - will let you know closer to the day though !

i was actually expecting a call from you over the weekend to say that you had started !! - not sure why though !! strange eh !

[Sean]

Okay..... engine crane has arrived!!!

Is there anyone near me? I\'m on my own and don\'t have a clue what to do!!!!!!!

HELP!

[grinder]

you certainly pick your moments matey !

how long you got the crane for ?

i cant offer any support today - possibly could at the weekend though ?

how did you get the engine out - just do that in reverse !!

[Sean]

Okay.... Engine one sid of the patio, Back gate the other side, engine crane too big to fit through back gate, I\'m on my own.....poo!

[grinder]

im sooo bored at work - i would have loved to come over and give you a hand - but like i say - im at work ! - and i dont fancy the idea of helping in shirt and tie !!:)

can you not drag the engine thru the gate - and then onto the crane ?

[Sean]

Okay it\'s now hanging over the car............THE FECKIN CRANE IS TOO SHORT:reallymad

[grinder]

jack the car up onto bigger axle stands !

come on matey - get that engine in !

[Sean]

gonna take the wheel off and try a side entry....ooh, err!

[grinder]

ah right - that makes sense now - i just couldnt picture that for a moment !

good luck - and keep us posted

i can just picture you running back and forth from the pc to the car !

[Sean]

Okay.... is there a magic trick to lining up the clutch to the bell housing/gearbox thingy, cause I\'m really strugling and it\'s about to get very dark!:eek

[grinder]

dunno matey - read the haynes book !

and on that note - im off home !

have fun - i expect an update tommorrow !

[Sean]

Thats crap! It says removal undo pipes, bolts and stuff. Then lift out. Refitting is reverse of removal!!!!!!!!!!!!:flamed

And I paid a tenner for that, cheers!
