Engine removal help.
 

Ok so I've used the engine removal guide sticky thats here. And I've had great success. Maybe a little long in time but I'm working real slow.

Well i just have a couple questions if you can help. would be helpful.

1: Whats easiest way to get this exhaust manifold off the Cat.

2: Where is the 3rd oil cooler line. I found 2 on driver side of radiator. can't seem to find 3rd.


I am almost done and i will show pictures of the parts i find trouble in. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Resolved 1: beat it with a hammer, WD40 And leverage lol

1: With a torch and an impact driver. WD40 or PB blaster can work well too. Expect to have to snap a couple off and when you do hammer out and replace all three.

2: follow the hoses out of the engine they are the only ones you need to disconnect and the connections are at the ends of the hoses. One is under the cross bar thingy. One is by the drivers side cooler.

Oh and don't loose the c clips, they are $30 to replace and tend to go flying when removed.

I left my oil cooler lines in and just took them off of the engine. But i stripped most of the upper engine before I ever tried to pull it.

i might be doing the same seeing as to i have no idea where i should put the hooks for my engine hoist.
