Pulling the motor and trans Saturday, planned on just dropping everything with the cradle attached. I just wondering if anyone had any nifty tricks? I'm goin to try and leave the compressor lines attached and just unbolt ithe compressor from the motor and swing it out of the way when I drop das motor cause I don't feel like discharging the system. Also planned on using the threaded hole on the back of the intake manifold and the one between the exhaust mani and the vtec Solenoid to hook the hoist to. Would anyone happen to know what size bolts fits in there? Also do I need to remove the steering joint when dropping the motor?

 

You'll need to loosen the steering joint if you're lowering the subframe.

 

Thank you

 

I just realized that the car is goin to be moved after I remove the motor and removing the the subframe with the rack dosent make sense as I'm gunna have to remount it . Looks like I'm gunna have to drop the tranny out the bottom and motor from the top
