Engine Out Without Hoist Possible?

[IOWGENTRY 4]

Hi everyone

 

I wish to get the engine out of a 205 track car I brought to rebuild it, Is it possible to renove engine without the aid of a hoist?

 

Thanks Phill

if you have a decent trolley jack and a helper then yes, though I would try and borrow/hire a crane.

yes. Get the gearbox off, all ancillaries and inlet manifold and drop it out the bottom.

I have just taken out and put in a new engine for my 205 this way using a stack of wood underneath to gradually lower the engine down, and then out from under the valence.

i did mine this way with the help of a ramp but you have to get the car quite high in the firstplace to give you enough room to get it out the bottom

or a few mates to lift the car and roll it back.

I agree with Welshpug, Got to be easier just to hire a crane.

 

Its not going to be that much and it'll save you a load of agro.

Done the engine and gearbox attached by myself, its possible but will be a bit of hassle mate!

split it from the gearbox and get it out of the nsf wheel arch

i removed my 8v and fitted my 16v without a hoist by myself. no worries,just get the car up high

Or loosen all the mounts then find a sturdy tree/beam and a piece of rope - Home made hoist

I've seen it work on grasstrack minis :-)
