[QUOTE="pete nice, post: 38656, member: 121"] Its piss easy with 2 jacks. Jack the engine up enough to get the second jack & a big lump of wood under the gearbox. Jack the van up as high as you want to get everything undone, then lower it back down so the wheels are just off the ground. This is the perfect height to pull the engine. Place the jack under the sump plate & pull it out & lower it down. Use the second jack which is still under the gearbox with added wood to jack the van clear of the engine. You can then just pull the motor right out. I think the gearbox is bolted in a later bay so won't have to support it. This also makes it a whole lot easier to get back in. It is quicker to change & engine on a later bay than early! [/QUOTE]
