Guide for engine removal?
I have searched, and searched.
I have found lots of videos after the engine is out.
I have found guys who have take the engine out the side,
out from under the car... pretty much everything.
Except a guide telling you how to drop the cradle and remove the engine.
I have never tried to take an engine out from under a car.

I did they skip over everything.
You click read full article and you get a couple sentences.
Once the shifter is removed, the vehicle can be put on a two-post lift, and the drivetrain component and system removal process can happen.
Yep that sure tells me how to do it....
I checked the first 5 pages of google... nothing but crap.

I do not have a lift.
I had not decided best way to get it out. I read of guys taking it under with large jack stands.
I so do not like that idea. Out the top sounds so much better to me.

I just finished removing the engine from my 2001 from the top. I have the car on jack stands and dropped the cradle, pulled the engine with a engine lift. It was no harder than pulling the earlier model cars except having to drop the cradle.
