Is there an easy way to pull the motor??
I am having to pull the motor on my 95 4runner to have the crank replaced. I have almost everything unbolted,...except...the exhaust mainfolds. Is there a better way to pull the exhaust manifolds and the exhaust pipe crossover??? I have the nuts removed on the manifold, but I am having a hard time getting to the three nuts on the exhaust flanges. HELP???

You could leave them ON the motor when you pull it out. Just unbolt the pipe (3 bolts and nuts) that goes to the cat from the driver's side manifold and pull the whole thing out.

Soak them with PB Blaster or some other type of rust busting lube. The longer you let 'em soak, the better.
If you don't you run the risk of twisting the heads off the studs. Been there, done that. I cut mine out with my 4" angle grinder, but then again, I was replacing the whole exhaust system, anyhow. |
I was able to pull the motor last night after unbolting the down tube. Thanks for the idea. I still needed a cheater bar to break them loose, but it is a done deal now. I have to buy a new crank, as the old one is not salvageable. The number 6 journal is worn past .75 mm. So, instead of $125 for the new crank, I will have to pay the core charge of $200, plus the $125.

I haven't had time to take apart my crank and rods yet, but I have lots of play in the bearing between the crank and the number 2 rod. Hope it works out for you.
