* Pliers
* Drain pan
* Funnel

Safety First
Before you start working on your car, make sure to take some safety precautions. Park your car on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Disconnect the negative terminal of your battery. Allow the engine to cool down completely before you start working.
Drain the Fluids
The first step is to drain the fluids from your engine. This includes the oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. Place a drain pan under the engine and remove the drain plugs. Allow the fluids to drain into the pan.
Disconnect the Hoses and Wiring
Once the fluids have been drained, you can start disconnecting the hoses and wiring from the engine. Be careful not to damage any of the hoses or wires.
Remove the Engine Mounts
The next step is to remove the engine mounts. The engine mounts are located on the sides of the engine. They are usually bolted to the frame of the car. Remove the bolts that hold the engine mounts in place.
Lift the Engine out of the Car
Once the engine mounts have been removed, you can lift the engine out of the car. You will need to use an engine hoist to do this. Attach the engine hoist to the engine and lift it out of the car. Be careful not to damage the engine or the car.
Place the Engine on an Engine Stand
Once the engine has been lifted out of the car, you can place it on an engine stand. This will make it easier to work on the engine.
Troubleshooting
If you have any problems pulling the engine from your car, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure that you have all of the necessary tools. Second, refer to your car’s service manual for specific instructions on how to remove the engine. Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help from a friend or mechanic.
Conclusion
Pulling an engine from a car is a big job, but it can be done with the right tools and a little bit of know-how. By following the steps outlined above, you can safely remove your engine from your car.
