Well S2KI, Im sure some of you had seen my prior post of looking for DIY on Engine Removal but i didnt have any helpful responses or answers so i have been lurking and searching for past 3 weeks. I have finally found what i needed and im gonna share this process with the board and hope that this helps anyone else that was needing a walkthrough or assistance.
--any feedback would be great, also let me know if you need a picture of a specific part so i can definitely make it a thorough process with pics to better help-- *This will be updated as I go process* First note to start off on is why am i needing to do this? Well seeing how as my s2000 has produced a rod knock is why. ---Key to all of this walkthrough is the Repair Manual that can be viewed by this link--->> http://downloads.hon...ce%20Manual.zip Here is the car : Attachment 101660 1. First Step was to get car situated in garage, seeing how i dont have a huge shop or anything to do this in. I need to make use of the space I have, thus meant putting car all the way up against back wall to allow for hood clearance of garage opener motor Attachment 101661 2. Now you will need a 19mm socket/ and or your lugnut key to loosen lug nuts, then its time to get the car up in the air Attachment 101662 http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...0S2000/088.jpg 3. Remove Lug nuts and Take Wheels off - Attachment 101663 4. Check your tires for any odd wearing or defects (not a must, but i like to do this step)- Attachment 101664 5. Once removed you should have something like this - Attachment 101665 7. Now that your car is wheel/tireless you should be left with this - Attachment 101666 8. Here is the Engine bay before removing anything - Attachment 101667 Attachment 101668 9. Now i know most of us have cold air intakes or aftermarket intake of some sort so we all know how to remove these, I found it the easiest place to start - Attachment 101669 10. The KEY point in any project or job is to stay organized, so try to keep as organized as possible. I find that zip lock baggies to hold bolts and a marker is the best way of going about things so that way you dont loose a bolt or forget. Attachment 101670 |

Attachment 101638 12. Now were gonna get most that we can up top finished first, so next up is to remove serpentine belt. Here is how it looks before removing.- Attachment 101639 13. Alright now break out your 14mm socket and place it on tensioner as so- Attachment 101640 14.

We will be using a 14mm socket for the alternator, here is top bolt - Attachment 101648 Attachment 101649 18. Here is bottom bolt- Attachment 101650 Attachment 101651 19. Once alternator is all unbolted, should look like this - Attachment 101652 20. Then wiggle it up and out of bottom bracket, this can be a pain in the butt sometimes- Attachment 101653 21. On back side of alternator there is going to be a green plug we need to unplug, and a 12mm nut holding power wire on to alternator, here is a picture (little hard to see) Attachment 101654 22. Take a long flathead screwdriver and push the rubber boot off the 12mm nut we need to remove- Attachment 101655 Attachment 101656 23. Take your 12mm socket and ratchet now and remove 12mm nut holding power wire on to alternator Attachment 101657 Attachment 101658 http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/o...0S2000/042.jpg 24.
