Choosing a place to work is extremely important. You will need sufficient working space as well as a garage where you can leave the car for the period of repair.
It is advisable to have a workbench nearby, on which the bulkhead will be made, a clean rack or shelves. The shelves will be used to store engine components and accessories along with their bolts and gaskets. This is the best way to keep components clean and tidy so they don't get lost or accidentally damaged.
Cleaning the engine compartment and engine/transmission before starting the removal procedure will help keep the job clean.
If you are removing the engine for the first time, you will need an assistant. The advice and help of a more experienced person would also be helpful. One person cannot simultaneously perform all the steps required when lifting the engine from the vehicle.
Plan your work ahead of time. Before you get started, get all the tools and equipment you will need. To remove and install the engine, you will need: a heavy-duty jack, a full set of wrenches and sockets, wooden blocks, rags and solvent for cleaning and wiping up spilled oil, coolant and fuel. Also, prepare suitable containers for storing small parts, which will facilitate subsequent assembly and prevent loss of these parts.
Part of the work will have to be entrusted to a car repair shop, because. it requires special equipment to do so. Agree on this in advance.
When removing external engine components, work methodically. Marking cables and hoses will greatly facilitate subsequent installation.
Be extremely careful when removing and installing the engine. Careless operation can result in serious injury.
On all models described in this manual, the engine is removed from the engine compartment separately from the gearbox. Note that the engine should ideally be removed from an unjacked vehicle, but to improve access to the exhaust pipe and lower bolts, the vehicle may be temporarily jacked up on axle stands.
