Ok guy and girls this weekend i am removing my engine to replace my rear mains seal...

Now i have pulled many a engine out in my time, but this being my first 3rd gen removal is there anything i should look out for......

I have 3 day's to do this so no need to rush this one thru....

And yes i have a book, but it doesn't hurt to ask........

Very easy man! I did mine when I replaced the engine in my TH. Me and my mate from work did it with a hoist in 7 hours. Crank doesnt need to come off but we did to make a bit more room against the chassis rail. Apart from that its simple. Easier to pull engine out than auto. Good luck. Run into any trouble gimme a call 0413356110 and ask for Matt. Cheers
