best way is to drop the engine out the bottom of the car along with the gear box as there is insuficiant space to seperate in the engine bay..... buy a haynes manual its great step by step will help you allot. wouldnt advise it if you dont have any expirience can get quite tricky and anoyin.

yer i was thinking droping the engine out the bottom would be better , just wondered what people used like a trolley or something then jacked the car up

the front of the car need to be on axle stands with suficiant space to remove it from the bottom , lowered onto the trolly from the engine crane.
