engine and gearbox removal

Post by Dynamite-dindin »

hi all I need to take the engine and gearbox out of my t25 van it is a aaz engine. I assume that It will all drop out of the bottom how high will I have to jack the back of the van up to be able to remove the engine and gearbox.

Danny, this might be obvious, I dropped mine onto something so I could drag it out without wrecking it. I think I used sheet of plywood. Drill a couple of holes in the ply and tie some rope through them. Watch the oil pipes on the turbo. Cheers, Vandad
