I have been taking the engine out of the car today, everything going well. ancillaries off, rad off etc. started on the downpipe, all going well until I get to the last one, the bottom one on the drivers side. Will it budge - will it heck as like.

Anyone have some advice - apart from hitting it with a sledge lol

Will the engine come out with the headers still one along with up pipe and turbo?

cheers

forgot to say the flippin clitch pivoit pin wont come out either....

 

Engine will come out with turbo, headers etc.

 

thanks,


I am thinking while its out I should fit some decent headers and an up pipe but concerned about it passing the mot before I can get to sort a remap on it.

 

Heat it up then put a spanner on it and hit it with a club hammer, works everytime for me.

Regarding the clutch fork rod, screw a m8 bolt into the end of it and wiggle and pull

 

cheers, its gunna get the gas tomorrow but there isnt the room to get in there with a hammer. I got some of the other off by doubling up the spanners to get some leverage but not enough room on this one.

a fresh look tomorrow with some gas and hoefully get the engine out.
