Loosen the lug nuts on the front wheels. This will make it easier to remove the wheels when you pull the engine out.
Step 2: Remove the engine mounts.
The engine mounts are located on the sides of the engine. They are attached to the car's frame with bolts.
Remove the bolts that attach the engine mounts to the car's frame.
Lift the engine up off of the mounts.
Remove the engine mounts from the engine.
Step 3: Remove the engine.
Attach a chain to the front of the engine.
Loop the chain around a sturdy object, such as a tree or a tow truck.
Tighten the chain until the engine is lifted up off of the ground.
Remove the wheels from the car.
Roll the car forward until the engine is completely out of the car.
Step 4: Clean up.
Clean up any oil or transmission fluid that has leaked out.
Reinstall the air filter housing.
