Engine Removal

I figured out how to remove the flywheel and also pulled the engine today.  Having the engine lift made it very easy.

I had trouble figuring out how to remove the bolts on the flywheel due to the crank shaft turning on me.  To stop it from turning, I put two bolts on the flywheel and wedged a crowbar between the two bolts and the frame.  I then soaked the bolts in PB Blaster and then took a breaker bar to it.  They came right off.

Here is a picture after I removed the flywheel.  I wanted to get a good shot of how the protection plate sat on the engine.

Here are a couple pictures of the flywheel after I removed it.  You can see on the bottom picture that some of the teeth are worn down.  I'm sure I will be replacing this.

My neighbor let me use his engine lift which had four chains included with it.  The next four pictures are where I bolted all four chains to the engine block.

Here it is all hooked up

After unbolting the engine mounts, I was ready to go.  I already had everything else disconnected, so it was not hard pulling the engine myself.

I put the engine on a furniture dolly for now.  I'm doing this just to have a way to move it around.

The dolly worked great, but it was a little top heavy, so I rigged up a kickstand on the engine mount.

Here are a few shots of the jeep now with the engine and transmission out.
