Doing my 3rd engine out service on a TR and thought I'd post some pics if I can. Normally I have the rear wheels/tires mounted so I can roll the whole drivetrain out the back. But when jacking the car up, using a floor jack on each side, one of them wouldn't go high enough. So I had to resort to plan B and set the drivetrain on a dolly and remove the wheels/tires to get the whole package low enough to clear the rear cross member. I'm getting better at this job but it's still not easy. The water hoses at the front of the motor are a huge pain in the butt, and the shock tower nuts are hard to get to. I left the AC compressor on the motor until I seperated everything, and then unmounted it from the engine and tied it up out of the way. This way I don't have to break open the AC system, capture the freon, and pay to have the system recharged later. I plan on doing a total nuts and bolts restoration of the engine bay. Fun fun fun....!
