Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tazza" data-source="post: 68028" data-attributes="member: 82">I had issues with space too, i have like a car port that i have done a fair bit of work under, but it's not tall enough to lift the rops under the roof. What i did was to back the machine up to the door way with enough room for the rops to lift up and not hit the roof.Put a bottle jack under the rear to make sure it doesn't tip back. I then removed the 4 engine mounts, fuel and coolant lines, wires too. Once all that was free, i used a chain block inside the car port to lift the engine up and pull it out and drop to the floor.I don't know what the engine and fly wheel would weigh, but the V1702 that i have removed before, i did with a 300lb air hoist. It is heavy enough for it to not hold the weight, but it will lift it. I think if you estimated about 300kg you should be close to the mark. Some use alloy fly wheels, so they weigh less.With the engine out, work on your u-joints, when putting it back in, don't opush it all the way forward. Get it in far enough for the coupler to still clear the pump shaft. Get a helper to bump the engine forward slowly with a bar. Keep your fingers clear while holding the coupler up to engage the splined shaft. It may stop when trying to engage, get the helper to rotate the engine slowly and it shoudl engage.Its really not a hard job to do. I had an engine from running to running in about 3 hours, that included the repairs to the U-joint i needed to do.</blockquote>
