When removing an engine from a FF 172/182 I normally drop these and the AC compressor from the block as it does make life easier lifting the engine clear of the bay but it also means you dont have to drop the gas and fluids. It does add time to the job though but not much.

I removed the air con and alternator.
Ive undone all the manifold nuts but i cant get one of the bolts on the fixing kit, with the springs out from the the flange!

wil lthe engine and gearbox come out as one ?

 

[MicKPM]

Yep the engine and gearbox will come out as a single assembly without issue - just lift it at an angle so the gearbox comes out last.

Mick do i need to remove the subframe to get the 172 manifold off ? ive undone the nuts but obviously theres no way to slide it out top or bottom as i cant get one bolt out of fitting kit !

if i i drop the subframe does the steering rack need supporting or summit ?

 

[MicKPM]

There should be no need to touch the subframe buddy - just unbolt the manifold from the back of the cylinder head and leave it till the engine is clear of the bay.

what about the wiring loom, ive disconnected the sensors from the block and also removed the ECU but i have the looms and fuse box relays all just above gearbox then it all seems to behind the manifold but i dont know if it can be disconnected as i cant see nothink !

I would keep the loom attached to the engine and disconnect the connections in the fusebox.

 

[MicKPM]

yep, as above.... unplug it all from the fuse box, disconnect the ecm and out from above.

 

[finch wxm]

do you mean split the relay bases from the fuseboard or actually dissconnect the wires ? I havent looked into what can be done or can i unplug the relays and just split the bases from each other ?

 

[mr.pink87]

There should be 2 connectors in the fusebox and you can disconnect the remaining wires from the main fuses aswell (take a photo of the fuse's positions for reassembly). Then there should be 2 wires from the alarm system soldered to the loom which you need to cut off.
