How to Pull Out Engine from a Car

1. Safety First

Before you begin, it is important to take some safety precautions. Make sure that the car is parked on a level surface and that the parking brake is engaged. Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent any electrical shocks. You should also wear safety glasses and gloves to protect yourself from any debris.

2. Drain the Fluids

Once you have taken the necessary safety precautions, you can begin draining the fluids from the engine. This includes the oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. To do this, you will need to locate the drain plugs on the engine and transmission. Place a drain pan under the drain plugs and open them to allow the fluids to drain out.

3. Remove the Accessories

Once the fluids have been drained, you can begin removing the accessories from the engine. This includes the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and any other accessories that are attached to the engine. To remove the accessories, you will need to use a wrench or socket set to loosen the bolts that hold them in place.

4. Disconnect the Wiring

Once the accessories have been removed, you can begin disconnecting the wiring from the engine. To do this, you will need to identify the wiring harness that connects the engine to the rest of the car. Once you have identified the wiring harness, you can disconnect it by unplugging the connectors.

5. Remove the Engine Mounts

Once the wiring has been disconnected, you can begin removing the engine mounts. The engine mounts are located on the sides of the engine and they hold the engine in place. To remove the engine mounts, you will need to use a wrench or socket set to loosen the bolts that hold them in place.

6. Lift the Engine Out

Once the engine mounts have been removed, you can begin lifting the engine out of the car. To do this, you will need to use an engine hoist. Position the engine hoist over the engine and attach it to the lifting points on the engine. Once the engine is attached to the engine hoist, you can begin lifting it out of the car.

7. Finish Up

Once the engine has been lifted out of the car, you can finish up the job by cleaning up the engine bay and replacing the engine mounts. You should also reconnect the wiring harness and the accessories. Once everything is back in place, you can start the car and make sure that everything is working properly.
