<VV> engine removal instructions?

[Bryan Blackwell]

It's a long enough procedure that I don't think anybody's got the whole 
thing online.  The factory manuals are fairly inexpensive, you could 
get one via second day air for not too much extra, I think.  You can 
search the VV archives, there are a lot of tips that will help even if 
you have the book, especially in regards to how high to jack it up, use 
of an ATV lift, that sort of thing that is good for the shadetree 
mechanic.

The big one I'll reiterate is *do not* let the engine hang on the 
throwout bearing snout or input shaft.  Very easy to break the snout, 
which is a pain to replace.

I'll add that there have been two very useful articles in the CORSA 
Communique in the past year on the subject - the most recent was on a 
clutch replacement, the other on using an ATV lift.
