Re: Engine Removal

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

All of what you are planning to do can be done without removing the 
engine. It will just take more time and become a much bigger job. A 
shop might consider it because they have all of the tools but for an 
individual it makes more sense to do these things in several steps. I 
would only pull the motor if you had to go inside it and unless you 
cooked it or it is high mileage there is no need for that.
