i bought an engine crane (posh c*nt i know , £150 for a 1 ton crane from machine mart) but used to borrow one before that. last engine was took out by stihl sawing through the shafts, hacksawing through the wiring harness, pulled out the water pipes, undoing the mount bolts properly with engine held on crane and then pulled it out, job done. needless to say that engine wasnt going back in and have a new wiring harness.
