The instructions don't have you pull the motor. Only reason the pictures show the motor out of the car is so that you can see the bolts. Trying to get those pics in the car is nearly impossible. The instructions linked, have the motor suspended and only the subframe and transmission come out.
We have a lot of members around everywhere. Have you tried posting up in the southeast section suggesting you'll supply the pizza and some money to buy beer.
On the 50 hours, that's a no go excuse. I work a full 40 hours, maintain a house by myself (yard/housework/laundry etc) and have a girlfriend. I have a lot of time where I help friends, go out do tons of stuff and still ... in the last 2-3 weeks, I fixed an electrical short in my neighbor kids GP
swapped a trans in this car.
See, engine stays in
subframe and two transmissions
Did LIM gaskets, crank sensor and bs'd a lot with Billy from the Bronx and his son.
sooo no, 50 hours of school isn't a valid reason for not doing it. If you can turn something clockwise you can tighten it, if you can turn it counter clockwise, you can loosen it. If you break down the various parts of removing/installing something like this in the car, it's one bolt at a time and you loosen them to take it out, tighten them to put it back together.
