engine removal guides?

andy24

would like like some help on changing my engine plz ?
ive got a 51 plate vectra sri 150
ive bought a wrote off y reg sri 150 which i want to swap the engine in mine.
am getting ideas off some peeps & someone said to me its a pain trying to line the subframe up.
also can i leave all the running gear on the subframe.
just wondered if there was some sort of guide or special tool for lining the subframe.
i served my time as a mechanic but i aint been in the garage stage for over 20 yrs so a bit rusty.
all help appreciated thanks

remove the front cross member disconnect all ancillarys and hubs then drop engine gearbox onto the floor and drag out the front its as easy as that,
its a bit of a shit lining the subframe but they are all on bushes and shoulder bolts and therefore if the bolts go in freely then your ok. :thumbup:
