EZ does it. The engine came out from the side because my cherry picker doesn't have sufficient reach. There was no damage aside from the fact I broke a spark plug while removing the temp sensor in the cylinder head. FYI, Charles Atlas installed one flywheel bolt. The rest were finger tight (!). I dragged out my longest 1/2 inch breaker bar to remove the balancer bolt and almost tripped over because the bolt was ....you guessed it. Finger Tight! 😅Removing things like the spark plug shielding and exhaust manifolds was, uh, interesting. It proved to be the "standard" mix of flat washers in the wrong spot...loose fasteners...etc.😁. The Rad support and rad are next. Then I can go to the back of the car and remove the rear end. It's getting love...
