There are a couple of ways people take the engines out of a 205, some drop the subframe, lower the engine
towards the floor and jack the shell up over it. Im too lazy for that and
also the car is on quite a steep hill so we done it using a crane and jacked
it up through the engine bay.
I
spent the night before looking through the Haynes manual at how they recommend
to take it out, but it is quite stra
This
left the engine only attached to the car with its 3 mounting points so
we wheeled in the engine hoist and took the tension with the crane before
cracking the bolts. First we undone the bottom mount and removed it from
the car incase it got caught with the engine as it was lifted, then the
top two were undone and we lowered the engine with the gearbox still attached
until the gearbox mounting thread cleared its hole. As we started to lift
it out we had to tilt the engine around 45 degrees so that it wouldn't
get snagged on the wing, but other than this the engine came out fine.
Just hope the next one goes in aswell :). |
