    Proper Engine Removal

    So the weather is finally starting to get nice out in wonderful Minnesota and the snow is beginning to melt!

    Im in the process of doing an F22B1 swap, I have the axles removed from my tranny, everything is unbolted. Now my question is, can I lift the tranny and motor out all at once? Or does it need to be dropped? And if I need to drop it, do I need to remove what I think is the cross member (not quite sure if that's what it is).

    Any help or links to threads would be Great! Thanks!

    If you have a car lift to pick up the body, its easier through the bottom but taking it out from the top is just as easy with a cherry picker and an engine load stabilizer. If your taking it out the top, you need to angle the motor which is where the stabilizer comes in handy

        When i did my swap i just pulled the motor out the top, i didnt use a stabalizer, just made the chains shorter on one side than the other and for any more angle that was needed just man handeled the motor to that angle considering these motors are not that heavy. have a couple of friends come over to help extra hands make easier work. and i agree with '93CB7Ex pull both the motor and trans together its easier that way.

          you don't need a body lift to drop it from the bottom although that would make life a lot easier, if you are able to you can set the whole front on the ground unbolt all the mounts and use the cherry picker on the front of the frame to lift the front of the car up it would be a lot easier and anything that looks like it will be in the way from the bottom needs to come off

            I wouldn't call that easier at all.

              i mean it's all a matter of preference really, either way could be just as simple, i've dropped plenty of motors out the bottom and i have pulled just as many through the top either way it's not too difficult

                That's easier to do on Civics than it is on Accords, I believe. I know many Civic guys that have done it that way, but I don't think I know of a single Accord owner who has.

                  I'll either be pulling my motor tomorrow or next weekend. I'm pulling through the top with a cheery picker, and I'll included lots o' pictures in my swap journal.
