Don't worry guys, the project isn't dead, it's just on the side until I get the engine jack.
I've broken probably 3 sockets so far trying to break the bond that the nut on the mount has made. I need to find sockets that can hold up to the challenge of removing a simple nut. My sister has agreed to help me find an engine jack, she works with buy/sell/trade things on facebook.
As a little side project until I can get it out, I am going to be dipping my car green and black.
Have you tried impact sockets?
Really close to getting the engine out, just need the jack...
Are you going to lower it down (jack) or use a lift and pull it from the top?
Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
I have a suggestion for getting it out. Since you are working in a garage, mount a steel pipe that can extend over the car. Then mount this lift.
1/4 ton Lever Chain Hoist
That way you can slide over your car, lift the engine out, then slide it back to the side so you can lower onto a pallet.
Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
keep at it
Got the jack, it'll be here this weekend.
