Thank you so much for this information! I know it must have been more work and effort into it because you had to recorded it, also the struggle that was not in the videos. Truly appreciate this.!!!

Thank you so much for this video, great job. It took me three days to get it out and it is back in again and I will finish it tomorrow hopefully. BTW, the special plastic parts holding the wire-harness to the engine block I bought on AMAZON. I think I paid $12 for 20 pieces. To get the two difficult to get to bolts holding the engine and transmission together, I took a couple of moving blankets and laid them over the engine. Laying on my belly on top of the engine I got to the two bolts as I kind of new where they were. Your video also showed me that I could actually do it as I saw you doing it.

There is also a bracket that bolts to the trans and engine! Bolts near the passenger cv axle and the engine

very informative - now i am not looking forward much at all to attempting this myself in order to change the timing chain/water pump... i was thinking that job is a piece of cake if the engine is out. but the removing of the engine part trade off is questionable.

Been looking for this! I have an 07 with nearly 300k on it and she still runs great, but would love to pull the engine and do a complete rebuild on it. Doesn’t look nearly as difficult as I had feared.

Incredible. It is a dream and at the same time a nightmare to think about one day doing this.

Take off the heatshield on the exhaust manifold and make sure the manifold isnt cracked in the middle (like mine is). Im about to pull my engine out today/tomorrow once I get the last few bolts off between the engine and transmission
@just__dave4 ай бұрын
Agreed. Mine was cracked. Went to the junkyard to the roll the dice and 5 out of 5 that I found were also cracked.

Hey! Been watching this to get ready to remove my engine. At what point did you chain up the engine to the cherry picker?

I would have liked to see him remove the engine because there is not a lot of room on the passenger side to slide the engine forward

How long did it take you to pull
@Mil-usos Жыл бұрын
It took me a while because of recording procedures. Everything takes way longer when recording. I'd ball park it around 3 hours though if you have the steps down.

Why make a video showing how to do something if you were learning how to do it as you did it in the video
@just__dave4 ай бұрын
Why not? We learn from the mistakes just as much as we learn from the successes. I for one like seeing when errors aren’t edited out.

That is actually the point of a good informative video; showing the struggle and the solutions! Great video!
