Pulling an Engine

Re: Pulling an Engine

im not sure how the people in the guide got the car jacked up so high without smacking the rear bumper on the ground.

that is what the steel wheels are for. you put them under the back wheels to give the back end about 10 more inches of lift.

i want to know how some people got the thing ip so high with jackstands alone?

2x4 things.
12x1.5=18"+12"=30" of clearance on the subframe where the michigan speed writeup shows to place the jacks. which would be close to 40+ inches of clearance at the front of the car...

pretty good, we need to take the radiator out but the Haynes manual says the air conditioner need to be evacuated? how do i do it w/o killing myself and no taking it to a shop? its under high pressure, is there any way to do it at home?

Re: Pulling an Engine

i just disconnected the air conditioner stuff from the engine with out disconnecting the lines. then you can zip tie it up out of the way and not have to deal with it. Then just bolt it up to the new engine
