Ok, just wondered if anyone could give us a little help on taking the engine out. I have disconected and removed everything which needs to be removed before getting the engine out eg radiator, exhuast, intercooler, power steering pipes, air filter and all the wires. Got a sling round the engine hooked up to an engine crane, unblolted the gearbox, and unbolted the engine mounts.

But when trying to remove the engine away from the gearbox, I can only pull the engine about 1" away from gearbox! What am I doing wrong??

Please help!!
