Engine / Alternator Removal
Depending on the type of lifting mechanism that you have
available, it may be necessary to fabricate a pair of lifting
eyes to remove the engine/alternator assembly from the
mounting cradle.
If this is the case, fabricate two lifting eyes according to the
following specifications (Figure 15):
Figure 15
1. Remove the nut from the upper portion of the engine
mount that is located forward of the engine starter
(Figure 16).
Figure 16
2. Install fabricated mounting brackets.
3. Repeat this process for the engine mount that is
located behind the oil filter.
4. Using a technician-supplied chain and the lifting
hooks bolted to the engine block, carefully lift the
engine/alternator assembly until it is clear of the
cradle (Figure 17).
NOTICE: To prevent scratches to the engine shroud, place
cardboard between the chain and engine shroud.
