Attach an engine hoist to the engine lift points at the driver’s front and passenger’s rear areas of the engine.
One easy way to do this is with a chain and bolt on the other side of the hole. An alternative to this is to wrap
chains through the back of the engine mounts and bolt the chain together for lifting. This will give you a
balanced lift point.
Take up the slack on the chain slowly. Check to make sure that no hoses or wires remain connected to the
engine.
Remove the bolts from the transmission cross-member and remove the cross-member.
Check again to make sure that all wires and straps are removed.
Lift the engine off the engine mounts and guide it out of the engine bay. Guide the rear of the transmission out
of the transmission tunnel carefully.
Set the engine/transmission assembly on an old tire with no rim or on engine stands to avoid damaging the oil
pan.
There is an exhaust H-pipe tube holder plate sandwiched between the transmission mount and the transmission
that must be removed. All you need is the transmission mount with the two bolts sticking down.
Front Suspension
Spring compression tool, socket set, wrenches, breaker bar, tubing cutter, floor jack, tire iron, jack
stands, chain, needle nose pliers, rags, ball joint removal tool or plastic dead blow hammer.
Brake calipers, rotors, spindles, front lower control arms.
The front springs are compressed in their fitted positions even when the suspension pieces are lowered
in their mounts! These springs will cause serious injury or death if you are not extremely careful.
Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels.
Raise the front of the car up with a floor jack and support it with jack stands.
Remove the front wheels.
Disconnect the front sway bar and remove the mounts from the control arms.
Follow the flexible brake line from the front brakes to the mounting bracket on the body, unscrew or cut the
steel brake line 4” after the bracket.
Remove the bracket clips from the brake line body mounts keeping them to use later.
Pull the brake line through the bracket. Put a rag or duct tape over the end to prevent brake fluid from dropping
on the floor.
Put a jack underneath the ball joint on the lower control arm.
