#105240, "Pulling the engine"


          

Ok I did some searching and didn't quite come across what I was looking for. I did come across a section that was lable 420a removal but it was just a list but not exactly what I was looking for. I have seen a pictured layout of installing a turbo and was wondering if there was something simular to that. I really don't want to do this through a shop because they are going to charge me 700 for it. So any help with this would be great. Plus anyone who can help would also be appreciated as well in seeing that I have only done mods in the past, never really pulled a whole engine. Thanks

You must not have searched very hard.

My advice label everything you unplug, also everything you unbolt, put it in ziplock bags and label what it is or where you took it off at...whatever way helps you remember. Unplug all your sensors, remove throttle cable, disconnect downpipe at the header, disconnect fuel supply line at the fuel rail, drain coolant and oil, etc...

Your going to need a cherry picker/engine puller also. Theres two ways you can go about this, either pull out the motor and trans together (which will require you removing the axles from the trans) or you can pull out the motor only (I prefer this method). You are also going to need to rent or get a hold of a 5 ton 3-jaw pulley to remove the crankshaft pulley. To remove the pulley you'll need remove the passenger side motor mount (make sure you have the motor supported by a jack or either your cherry picker, this way you can safely lower the motor enough till you can clear the pulley from the frame/chassis).

If you make it this far and get stuck on something, several people should be able to help you. Good luck.

I followed these instructions and it all worked out perfect

-Remove the battery and intake stuff.
-Drain the oil and coolant.
-Depressurize the fuel rail.
-Disconnect the wire harness and tuck it out of the way.
-Label all connectors for easy reference later
-Unbolt the PS/AC and lay them over the side of the bay.
-Remove the crank pulley (i rented a tool for this from local parts store)
-Remove the header/exhaust manifold.
-Get under the car and drop the cross member
-Remove the access panel to the starter drive ring/clutch.
-Remove the (4) bolts that hold those together.
-Support engine on hoist.
-Remove bolts holding block to trans.

With these instructions you should not have an issue, if you do you can always search or post the question here, i would also suggest you have a service manual from the dealer in case it.
