Is it possible to pull the motor out of a rsx on the gound without a lift? If it is, any pointers?

 

anyone?

 

cherry picker maybe

 

i pulled my ep engine out the top! and the engine bay looks way more cramped than the rsx one

 

I was going to drop the sub frame and head off then drop it out the bottom, but if it can be pulled from the top, I have a bit more confidence.

 

IF YOU CAN LIFT YOUR VEHICLE AT LEAST 3FT HIGH THEN IT IS POSSIBLE TO DROP THE ENGINE FROM THE BOTTOM. YOU WILL NEED A SMALL DOLLY TO PUT UNDER THE SUBFRAME AND ROLL THE WHOLE SUBFRAME, ENGINE, TRANS OUT TOGETHER. CAN BE BOUGHT AT HARBOR FREIGHT FOR $22.00. I WORK FOR THE ACURA DEALERSHIP AND IT TAKE ME LESS THAN 1.5HR TO REMOVE THE ENGINE FROM THE BOTTOM. REMOVING FROM THE TOP IS NOT THAT BAD, EXPECT VERY BAD CLEARENCE AND PATIENCE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM YOU WILL RUN INTO WHEN ON IT WAY UP. TAKE YOUR TIME AND DON'T RUSH BECAUSE YOU CAN DAMAGE THE RADIATOR, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, AND ACCESSORIES THAT MAKE GET TANGLE UP WITH THE MOTOR.
