Lift points for engine removal, 98 Forester

[Top]

I'm about to remove the engine, have most of the stuff out of the way but what should I tie to on the engine to lift it out without damage? I'm using a transmission jack under the pan to slide it away from the transaxle (manual tranny) and then plan to lift it out with a tractor loader. Any suggestions please.

 

Thanks

When I pulled mine I used a chain, and connected it to the loop/plate that the alternator bolt goes through, and the hole on the back.

When you jack the engine and trans to clear the engine mount studs, put a 2x6 under the trans or block the trans up. That way it will stay up for your new engine. Yes, the alt/ac compressor bracket the the lift ring on the back are what I use as well.

 

The alignment pins are sometimes stuck. The best way to deal with that is to use a large punch and drive them fwd or aft so they are in the engine or trans. Just make sure you have them back correctly before you put the new engine in.
