Removing a V-6 Engine - By The Numbers (Page 9/22)
Carrluvr APR 23, 08:13 AM
This is a great thread and I just wanted to thank you for the time you put into this. It must have taken quite some time to do. I too used a 4x4 and a jack with 2 floor stands to drop mine out. I just finished it yesterday and now I can move onto the Deville and get engine out for the swap. The only sticky point I had was the dang A/C compressor. Mine is charged and I wanted to keep it so getting those bolts out of the top bracket were a bear. The rear nut you can get from under the drivers side as you described but I had a hard time with the front bolt. I had to use a universal joint (3/8) on my 15mm and a 6" extension to give me just enough room to break it loose.

Toddster,

I had forgot about this writeup! I have converted this thread to a PDF. If you want it or can find someone to host it I will be happy to send it to you. With your permission I will email it to those who are interested or have someone host it.

Not to worry. I still have the word write-up and I just emailed it to those who asked. If anyone still wants a clean copy emailed to them just shoot me an email.

I still keep a word version on my PC so i am still getting requests for a copy and am happy to email it.

I will be doing a 4-banger thread soon but just haven't had the time working 6 days a week lately. Stay tuned.
