I'm pulling a d16z6 this weekend from a junkyard. The car is already sitting on the ground without tires. I will be using their A-frame hoist. Will it be easier to go out the bottom or the top given these circumstances?

Can get the axle nuts off with it sitting on its hubs?

and last but not least, does the automatic shift linkage have a "b***h pin"\

Thanks in advance

 

Out the top is the best way IMO.
You will need to get it off the ground to pull the axels.
No b***h pin. 94

 

Thanks man. Going up to do it myself today so hopefully all goes well

 

If it's auto you can just pull engine alone no need to pull axles or wheels

 

oh really. That's awesome. Why can I do that wil an auto and not manual? Any tips for pulling it by myself? can I get to the rear mount with the car on the ground?

 

Just pull off crank pulley and it will give it enough room
Manual has a long shaft auto just has torque converter bolts that needs to be off

 

Thanks everyone. The motor was a bust. Got the head off and piston 1 was all chewed up. Looked like cylinder 1 was running lean too. I did grab the head for $40 though. So my search for a block will continue.
