Lift Engine Clear
Using an engine crane, lift the engine and gearbox about 40mm so the studs clear the cross member, and slide the engine forwards off the dowels and lower studs (about 70mm), then lift the engine clear of the car. Here the breakers used a Loadall with a dodgy looking rope. Using proper lifting gear is highly recommended.
