Using a hoist, do i need to raise the car ? or can I do this on the flat ?

removing a 320 lump and auto box complete.

should be nice and simple with hoist mate
but do take the bonnet off

also a lot of peole seem to take em out from underneath

i did last time and it was easy

with the gear box attached ???

wont the steering rack get in the way ?

i undid it all as didnt have a hoist not as bad as it sounds plus no chance of twatting the body etc

as i said shouldnt be too hard with the hoist mate
i didnt have 1 plus had to do it all on me own

its another option....
