Ok i think ive got Everything out. 4 motor mount bolts, shift linkage, all vacuum and harness wires. The damn thing just WONT come out. Am i retarded or is it just that hard. I had 3 people over trying to get it out and just got nothing. My alternator is hitting my brake booster pretty hard but its still not whats jamming it. any suggestions?

 

did you take the L-bracket off the back of the motor/tranny? the axles? the exhaust? lol take pics or something your question is kinda vague

 

Yea exhaust is off, i took the bolt off the motor mount for the L bracket. Do i need to take it fully off the motor? ive only delt with civics, this DA is so damn tight inside its crazy.

 

you may wanna try taking the alternator off...you shouldn't need to take off the L bracket...i know when i put mine back IN , i had to take off the alt and the collector...

 

Aight ill try that tonight. gotta head to work. Kinda wierd going from a gutted EG hatch to a fully loaded DA.

 

is the motor like trying to come out? it is a struggle with the da the trans has to be drop and if you have a load leveler it would be easier! just keep trying

 

sorry i didnt answer you question really but the motor back in and then move the engine hosit you just have to keep screwing with it

 

Isn't there 5 mounts total? 4 in the front, and then the firewall mount,
or did you describe that as something else in your post?

 

there may be a mount where the old ac condensor was, i know there are 4 mounts, the driver side, passenger side, firewall rear mount and the front tranny mount

the passenger side is a bitch because the mount on the fram curves over so youre gonna have to wiggle that around a little and usually lift the motor up more on the driver side to manuver it out of the tranny mount

 

It would help if the header were off as well. Load leveler is a must. Not sure if you did it or not, but take off the motor mount on the engine too.

 

you can keep the alternator, L-bracket, and header on. the problem your having is you have to angle the motor out so it will clear the master cylinder. pull it towards the front abit.

trust me ive done this many a time on a Da.




it also helps to have the chains set so the engine pivots like this.

thats my car during a gsr blcok/b16 head swap

 

i had the same trouble taking out my b20b. Try taking off the motor mount bracket on the tranny. worked for me

 

Pull it from the bottom.... soo much easier

 

I would pull fromt he bottom but all i got is a cherry picker and 2 small jacks lol. Also the guy that pulled one from the bottom i heard he had to cut a tie rod.

thanks fellas. This has ac, the tranny side is the one being a bitch. and i tried taking off the mount on the tranny but one bolt was spinnig and thats when i quit last night.

Ill try putting the engine hoist chain on how you said so we can spin it some.

 

lube.

hehe just trying to make light of the situation. good luck with it.

I find it easier. More space to work with. I left the alternater and the L-bracket on. Angle on the motor is important. I done many swap on Da as well.
ProjectTeG Good Info
H22HatchEG Hope you get your motor out.

 

take the motor out with more of an angle

 

I got it guys thanks a ton. I found the exhaust was snaggin a little so i pulled the engine really far forward on the drivers side and it took a little jiggling but it slid out. Thanks fellas.
