after you pull it, throw it in a dumpster. That should complete the sequence. ;)

LOL.

Motors are very similar, but some are removed from under the car, with the cradle and all..not fun.

I saw some friends do that at school on an early 90's grand am 3.1. Biggest pile of shit designing ever.

Yea, toyotas, some hondas, some saturns, and many other vehicles are like this..Makes it easy, as it's just 4 bolts dropping out, besides the other typical things that need to be un-done, but it also means you MUST align the car once done lol

I'm sure some are easy, but there was no way to mount the engine to the cradle on that car. The engine just sat on top of the cradle and we had to lower the car onto it.

Newer (early 00s) Chevy Trucks are a shit pile to pull the motor, have to take off the entire front end including bumper to get any movement out of it. Ive never sworn so much.

That same generation of F150's require you to lift the cab off the frame to pull the motor. haha
