<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Murdoch&#039;&#039;&#039; it isn&#039;t that bad to do, just make sure the van goes up high enough to get the engine out from underneath it, bearing in mind the engine will be on a jack too.<br /> had to do mine in stages coz i only had one jack, but it wasn&#039;t a big deal.<br /> might find it helpful to remove the throttle/alternator bracket, it helps with the clearance<br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;geordie skydiver&#039;&#039;&#039; Disconnect the battery.<br /> <br /> Take off the carbs/airbox, dipstick tube and accelerator cable mount. The plastic air pipe from the fan.<br /> <br /> Disconnect the alternator, fuel line from the tank, at the pump. The starter motor cables. Also the servo vacuum line on the LH side of the engine bay.<br /> <br /> Jack the rear of the van up as high as you can, axle stands as a minimum, ramps even better.<br /> <br /> Remove the 4 bolts/nuts that connect the engine/gearbox.<br /> <br /> Get a trolley jack under the engine, or an engine hoist attached above it.<br /> <br /> Undo the 4 nuts/bolts that hold the engine mounting bar onto the chassis.<br /> <br /> Slowly lower the engine and draw it out to the rear of the van.<br /> <br /> Thats about all I remember, I hope it helps.</div>
