I know I should look before I post but I can't till I get home and then it would be too late to ask.

I am pulling my engine tonight(hopefully) to change my clutch/flywheel. I wanted to know how you connect the hoist to the engine. Is there a certain place.

Sorry if this is a n00b question but it will be the first time I have ever pulled an engine.

Oh yeah BTW H23
-Thanks!

 

This is the first time you are pulling the motor and you are about to change your clutch and flywheel? Well if you have a helms it will show you were to connect to lift the motor. If you dont have one you should get one first before you do this.

 

Okay, it is in the helms. I thoguht it might but figured I would ask now just to be safe.
Thanks

 

damn man, i've pulled mine so many times i can get everything unhooked, and the motor out in less than an hour now......

yeah, check the Helms

 

Why are you pulling the engine out just to do a clutch & flywheel?

I have heard that it is easier to get it back in. That and I want to do some other work while it is out.

 

With the Transmission off, you'll have about 2 feet of working room.

But if you're going to do other stuff to it while its out then

 

drop the motor out the bottom of the car. you dont need a hoist.

yeah but you should have a lift, IMO if your in a shop and trying to get done fast its the way to go. But at home, in the garage, use the hoist.

 

Drop the engine out the bottom?? Then what? Take the wheels off and drop the car over the engine?

 

jus jack the front up kinda high, jackstands and drop the tranny down...u dont need that much room.

 

damn, i had a harder time just removing the tranny then i did removing the whole engine.
