Removal from the car of the power unit – preparation and precautionary measures

Before starting dismantle of the engine for the purpose of performance of its general or capital repairs, it is necessary to take some preparatory measures.

Existence and the equipment of a working platform is of extremely great importance. The platform has to be rather spacious for placement on it of the car, a strong workbench / the assembly stand, and also necessary materials and the equipment. Optimum option is the big garage or the covered workshop. As a last resort simply equal platform with an asphalt or concrete covering will approach.

It is necessary to take care also of the equipment of a place for storage of the components removed from the engine, the tool and other materials. Best of all the easy folding rack with rather wide regiments will be suitable for this purpose.

Before starting dismantle of the power unit, clean a motor compartment and an external surface of the engine that will help to keep the used tool with purity and an order.

Necessary condition of successful work is also existence of the winch, the And-shaped frame or other suitable lifting equipment. Track that the elevator and a rigging corresponded according to the load-lifting characteristics to the total mass of the power unit (the engine with transmission). Do not forget about need of strict observance of requirements of safety regulations.

If extraction of the engine is made by the amateur mechanic for the first time, it is necessary to get support of more skilled companion – in time the given council will allow to save time and to minimize risk of receiving a trauma or damage of the components/equipment. In the course of extraction of the unit from the car there is a set of situations when any procedures have to be executed at the same time that it is often very difficult to make by forces of one person.

Try to plan all moments of the forthcoming work in advance. Prepare necessary tools and the equipment. To number of the special adaptations significantly facilitating performance of the forthcoming works and considerably increasing the level of their safety, the powerful cart jack, a set of wrenches and replaceable face heads with suitable (it is desirable ratchet) the drive, pair of strong wooden blocks, and also enough rags and solvent for removal of traces of fuel, oil and cooling liquid belong. At absence in private use of the lifting equipment before hiring the winch, try to perform beforehand all necessary preparatory work for the purpose of the maximum reduction of term of rent, and, therefore, and the material inputs connected with it.

Prepare for refusal of use of the car for the period of carrying out repair work. Performance of part of the procedures demanding high qualification of the personnel and use of the special equipment it is necessary to charge to specialists of car service. Remember that automobile repair shops usually have very busy schedule of loading, and therefore it will be reasonable to see to it and agree about terms of implementation of your order in advance.

Work without hurrying, in an organized manner, try not to violate elementary safety regulations!
