Need to pull the motor out of the 83 GTI.
Bentley Manual refers to dropping the motor out thru bottom, then lifting body, then sliding out motor.
If I pull the tranny from the below, can I just use an engine hoist pull the motor up and out of the body?
Another question, I recall reading in GRM that the A1 car does not like to be rolled around once the motor has been pulled (something about wheel bearing getting trashed), is this true?
If so, how do you guys get around this?
I thought maybe I could use those little wheel dollies.
