unplug main bits like ecu, battery, get the battery and box out the way. get the loom so it's kept on the engine for now but just disconnected from the engine bay. make sure you crack the hubnuts off before jacking it up or anything with foot on brakes too. get under the cat with a long extension bar and a decent ring spanner for the downpipe bolts

drain oils, shafts out, crack mounts off a touch, disconnect water and fuel lines etc, clutch cable, drain anything you can. you can get the engine out without taking the front end off but for the time it takes i've always took the bumper and slam panel out with the radiator. some say do some say don't bother, your call

make sure you have decent tools and proper hubnut removal tools etc

if you're seriously unsure what stuff does then take some pics of it all together before disconnecting anything

i'd put the car on stands by the sills and i am assuming you've got a proper engine crane so a block of wood under the sump *technically* should not be needed, but it's always handy for moving it about when you don't have a load leveller on your crane

order isn't important other than leaving mounts till last but i always crack hubnuts very very first now

Disconnect the exhaust at the cat just leave the manifold on. Also remember your gear linkage disconnect those.

Thank you lads

Rikky, you're awesome. Just wondering round asking neighbors for a 35mm socket now.
Should all be out tomorrow.

Drained the sump, had about 5 secs of good clean coolant lol. Think this engine is dead.reeaallyy dead.

Get a big socket on the hex part at tbe top. A hub nut socket will do. 35mm or something it is to crack it then just unscrew

Fuel pressure I just undo the hose leading to the fuel rail and wiggle it and ease off. Have some tissue under it to soak up any spilt fuel. Do it slowly and smoothly. You'll sense the pressure there that way. Its not a massive amount but just be careful about it squirting towards your face so use your common sense and safety glasses.

Thank you so much,

Yep literally everything ready to go bar this bloody exhaust! we're getting there, just having a big old fight with it now

Yes, as darkgti6 says, get 10mm spanner on the bolt head above and then undo the nuts below with a socket and ratchet on the downpipe joint.

I can't believe how much of a problem a f**king exhaust nut is causing me.
The 10mm spanner won't fit on the top nut on either side. Think a nice sleep will sort me out.

Also, the driver's side engine mount has a bloody 16mm nut! WHY? no-one sells a bloody deep 16mm socket round me.

Try a spark plug socket and if you cant get a 10mm spanner on try 11mm. Simples

you want a slim 3/8 or a 1/4 drive socket, half inch are too chunky to get on them.

that's rather more than a dropped valve, its a thrown rod
