Just about to remove the motor from my 95 Legacy 2.2/manual trans. Should I remove motor mounts from the cross-member or remove the bolt from the bottom of the motor? The lower motor to tranny bolts have nuts on them..i removed the nuts..will these bolts slide through when I take some weight of the engine?

I always remove the x-member bolts theres only one per side.

And once the engine is high enough to clear the x-member, pull it forward.

The lower studs come out of the bellhousing.

you can lift the engine and trans together with the engine hoist, or jack them both up together from below with a jack and a large block of wood. but which ever you choose. the trans has to be supported before you can pull the engine forward.

undo the nuts under the crossmember. remove the bolt on the pitch stopper on top of the motor.

 

place a jack under the trans, and you can lift up the engine several inches.

 

the engine is much easier to pull than what is to be expected based on other car layouts.
