Re: Engine Removal

[Daniel Kroehn]

we simply used a small hand winch(cost about thirty bucks) that had cable with a breaking strain of about one tonne and attached one end to a beam in the shed.  A sling was made up from some suitable strength rope to attach to the engine.  The whole gearbox and engine came straight out.  I think the winch came  from an auto shop such as super cheap or auto pro.  Hope it helps.   Daniel Kroehn ----- Original Message ----- From: David Costello To: Online Datsun Club Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2000 2:01 PM Subject: Engine Removal   probably a stupid question but does anyone know any ways of getting an engine out without using a crane I'm living on a shoestring as it is at the moment trying to afford to finish my datto and don't think I can stretch the budget any further to hire a crane.   I've got metres and metres of rope and tried everything my brother and I could come up with so far with no luck   thanks again guys'n'gals Dave --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
