Oh yea, good job I have just about removed teh whole engine and only just bought the Haynes manual for the car :lol: Should be here next week :lol:

All I need to do now is undo the gear linkage and the castle nut on the passenger side. Both of them a seized! But thne I can undo the engine mounts and rip the bloody lump out - I know those bolts wont be seized, as the ayre covered in oild from all the various leaks all over the place...

:lol: i took the engine out off a mini once, that was fun :D

i didnt no what i was doing with the corsa, so i left it at lee's at 6pm and by 8pm it was out

Balljoints? Use a Fork type crowbar in conjunction with a big hammer ;)

As for the driveshaft nut, do not strip the thread, or you'll be there for an hour hammering at the driveshaft.

Not fun is it when it doesnt go according to plan.

Had that fun with a Nova sport.

I'm gonna let Lee do mine when the time comes, if he wants to that is.....

not sure if i want the 2.0 16v, the 2.0 turbo or the 5.0 40v twin turbo........mmmmm

:lol:

:lol:

i cut the balljoints off my old 1.4 when i was removing the engine, but I didn't have a splitter...

Didn't remove the hubs tho, just pulled out the driveshafts & dropped the engine (literally)

amateur :P

Not fun the first time... Got pissed off cos I couldn't get the balljoints out - cuth the fuckers in half. Broke my angle grinder, one of the castle nuts is seized and I can't get the bloody hubs off, even though I have a hub remover - this just seemed to push the driveshaft off... Damn. :|
