Hi!
Starter motor bolt? Heat exchangers tubing and cables? Throttle cable, clutch cable maybe?

aah... just re-listing my list... excellent idea

clutch cable's got nothing to do with it however.
seriously though, don't get hung up on it being difficult... it only
seems that way because you've never done it before.
it's years since i've done it, but from memory you have the two 17mm nuts at the bottom of the engine... they're in plain sight, then a bolt at top left (looking from behind the bus) which you access from the gearbox side, and the nut at top right which you access behind the fan housing which is a bit of a fiddle, and from which you'll get that tell-tale pressure bruise on the inside of your right forearm :wink:
these four fastenings and the engine support bar are the only 'solid' things holding it in place - if you have them undone then it's simply a matter of disconnecting the stuff on 'my' list. remember to label your wires... makes re-installation even easier. don't be intimidated by it, but remember that it's 17 stone or so and it takes some man-handling to move it. it's frustrating not being able to come and help because i remember the same feelings of apprehension the first time i ever did it, but it's easy once you've done it for the first time and i've done it several times since then.
i've also removed a few engines in my time etc. etc. etc.

:roll:
