How to Remove a Car Engine

- Here's how to remove an engine and transmission from a car for service.
Removing the transmission and/or engine assembly is usually required for a complete rebuild or to service major body components such as the frame or wiring harness. The vehicle demonstrated here is a RWD Infiniti G35 sedan, which is similar to many RWD vehicles.
For FWD engine and transmission removal, see my other video here:
• How to Remove an Engine
The first stage of removing the engine is preparation which includes removing all small accessories or subsystems around the engine bay. The front bumper, rebar, radiator support, radiator and air intake are removed. The wiring harness is disconnected from the ECU with two connectors and fished through the firewall instead of disconnecting every single engine component and clip. The A/C system is drained and disconnected.
The second stage is preparation underneath the vehicle, which includes removing the exhaust at the headers, drive shaft, shifter linkage and transmission mount. If the engine and transmission are being dropped down, then the steering rack and lower control arms are disconnected.
The final stage is removing the engine and transmission assembly. If the engine is dropped down and out, as demonstrated in this video, then the subframe bolts are removed and the assembly is slowly lowered onto a floor jack. If the engine is being lifted out, an engine crane with a leveler must connect to strong engine attachment points at both ends.
Removing the engine on a RWD car is not difficult, as this job should take 4 - 6 hours if all tools are available and there aren't any rusty oversights.

Only a "true" mechanic can pull an engine in the snow. Good video.
Haha thanks, except I'm not a mechanic, I'm an engineer 😉
@@speedkar99 Engineer? Well, we'll keep that just between me and you. We don't want to have the cool guys making fun of you. 😎
OMG I love this guy and his brothers tooth brush......I have to get me one of those....we need a Amazon link for it 😂🤣😂🤣
Hmm maybe I should get into the dental hygiene business....lol
Can we pitch in and get you a better looking laser pointer or something 😂
That wouldn't be as fun now would it?
You gave me more confidence to work on my car in the cold, I like the toothbrush as a pointer, kept wondering when you going to use it!😄
It is the highlight of my day watching your brand new video sir.
Thanks 😁
You make it looks so easy
It isn't as hard as I expected
After all these years of watching your channel, moving forward I will just come in and click the thumb-up 👍. Even I know I will never be removing my engine (I am too old and I have no brother tooth brush), I still enjoyed your video! Thanks!
You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed my content and sorry that you don't have a brother.
We appreciate you sharing your knowledge, your helping many people out there 👍🏻
I'm happy to share
Thank you for this video I wish there were more. On youtube for other cars.
I have one for the Honda Accord and Toyota Corolla
Awesome video brother favorite youtube channel
Glad you enjoy it!
That's cold work - removing an engine outside in the winter. Add to that, rusty bolts et al. At least it was sunny.
Yep, it was tough
Wish my mechanic worked this quick!
Haha this didn't happen all in a day
speedkar99 still quicker than my mechanic no doubt 😂
Can you believe I have all the tools I need to fix my car the only thing that I’m missing is a tooth brush I need to get me one of those 😂 great video btw.
Do you have a brother that you can steal a toothbrush from?
Outside in the cold, snow on the ground and he pulled engine and transmission out by himself, 👏
Man it was tough!!
@@speedkar99 RESPECT
Great video. Love the beat the crap out of it removal method!!!
Hey it worked!
Sometimes I think it'd be cool to live up North, then I see RUST, and heavy coats and gloves in your videos and decide to put the top down and go for a drive...
It's not cool to work in these conditions but its something I've gotten used to and adapted to. I'd still prefer this climate over tropical any day.
@@speedkar99 don't you get mosquito swarms in the summer too? Brilliant video btw, that's the rear main seal you uncovered near the end? I think I see why I might have a little bit of oil on the bell housing now
engine disassembly, it's a new chapter!
Pretty much everything disassembly is the name of this project
Yup don’t mind me I’m jus gonna use my brother’s toothbrush here 😂😂😂😂
Haha
Very useful tool
mate, excellent video, the best tool is the toothbrush
Men that was amazing
Thanks
YOUR A PROFESSIONAL BRO!! DO YOU OWN YOUR OWN SHOP? ALSO JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU SOUND LIKE THAT DUDE FROM RATCHET AND WRENCHES!!
Thanks. I'm not a mechanic and don't have a shop, am an engineer.
Whats the similarity between me and R&R?
“So the tool that I’m gonna be using is called my angle grinder” nice
Must
Lord that's a lot of work, engine swap means that just half the job. I got exhausted just watching this...
Yes it was a ton of work especially in the snow.
Lifting the engine was the hardest part
Watching this at 4 am lol Awesome video!
You are a time zone or two ahead of me ...
He knows where you live now!
Can i have a video where you install an engine ?this video is very helpful 💪🏿
Nah
Too much work 😜
... and this is the manufacturers guide to change the ashtray light bulb. Quick and easy 😅
Or to change a control arm bushing or water pump - true story
I really like the disassembly work you do but what would really set your channel apart is if you delve into the design aspects of it
Thanks, I guess that's what makes me unique.
Your hilarious. I love the dry humor
You should do a video on the headlights, like doing retrofits!
I have a video planned on headlights...more about how they work. Stay tuned 😉
@@speedkar99 haha even better man!
Really great and without waist of time ! Have you take out any TOYOTA ALPHARD ANH 10 2002-2003 model ? 2AZ-FE engine. I need to acces torque converter. U241E gearbox
Your dad is going to find out about that mess, lmao
Yeah I got it good
Very nice sir. Thank you for your time.
You are welcome
You should have drained oils and cooling fluids and disposed of as hazardous waste. Capture/recycle A/C freon too as it can damage the atmosphere.
Thank you Captain planet
Good tip.
Coolant was drained, but there was some in the block and the engine went sideways which it shouldn't have.
AC was already drained.
That is a master toothbrush by now. Lol
Haha it sure is. Knows all the tricks
How do you organise all the bolts & nuts, and other small parts.
One big box
@@speedkar99 keep it simple
O teacher My teacher
I should quit my job and become a teacher then...
If only I could...
Did you really think you were going to get off those exhaust nuts?
Well at least I thought I'd break them off...
how do you know how to put it back together?
Who cares
Only a couple left over parts!
This was great
Awesome thanks
I think disassemble one more so we compare both and find similarities between these. Lastly I thought that engine is connected to body by three foundation rubbers and one unbolt these and lift the engine. Is not lifting the engine possible?
Yes, the engine should have been lifted, but as you saw at the end of the video, the crane was broken
very cool!
So one of my friends said "you have to pay attention if you change your bonnet because of the airbag." but this cannot be because that airbag sensor goes into the bumper.... so... what now?
Can you do a video on belt driven vs. electric radiator fans?
This car has both. I'll try to cover that in my cooling system video
tie it to a tree and reverse at full speed
That works
Really nice and funny comment
Do you have any videos showing how to remove an engine FROM the trans in the car? I’m doing an engine swap but keeping the trans, but the engine is stuck to the trans somehow. Not sure if it’s only friction in the input shaft and clutch plate, or what. It’s a manual
If you are doing a full swap just go ahead and drop the trans. If you cant get the trans out use a bottle jack and play with the angle of the motor/tranny to glide it out
Good video.
You are welcome
What the hell... I always thought the front bumper bar is welded onto the frame. Didn't think it could just be removed that way.
How is it still the same day?
Why did you remove the intake? Will it not drop with it left?
Easier to disconnect hoses and wiring
Can you make a video showing how to swap my rav4 engine for a 2JZ
Be my first 2Jz doner and I will
how can you save all parts and bolts place??? i want to be the same you
Do I need any special tools ?
The tool I'm gonna be using is an angle grinder
Was not expecting that
Haha when it's a scrap car, you can do what you want
Was the AC system discharged beforehand, or did it have a leak?
(AC Freon is the biggest thing I try to avoid leaking. R-134A isn't as bad for the atmosphere as the old R-12, but it's still pretty bad.)
It was discharged already
I need your help @speedkar99 my toyota keeps "pouring" coolant through the overflow hose on the coolant reservoir. It does so after running for a while under normal driving conditions. There's no visible dripping or leakage from any of the hoses or around the thermostat. It pours it even though its not over filled and if its not topped up it will drain the radiator. Please help
How do you keep track of all the screws and where they go?
I put them in one small box because I'm not putting this back together.
A good habit would be to screw things back where they came from. Or label every bag.
Sir how we can detect CAN BUS wires and LIN wires in our cars ?
I really want to learn that too!
Now I have to find out where everything goes, I am sure I am going to have extra nuts and bolts for the next job.
Hey Speedkar99 My 2001 4runner (3.4l v6 4WD) recently threw a p0446 code (evap purge canister)
But i have a significant exhaust leak that's constantly giving me the p0420 code.
Could the new p0446 be related to the exhaust leak or should I look into changing my EVAP purge solenoid canister? Thanks if you see this!
I live in southern Ontario so rust is an issue, working on things is a lot harder than it needs to be.
Evap is not the same as an oxygen sensor code. The evap code has to do with the EVAP system, I have a video on how it works.
Only a true mechanic can use their mother's tooth brush.
Lmao you had all those tools yet chose a used toothbrush to point things out 😆
Clean the engine bay with that toofbrush
nice GTR
Haha GTR engine swap time!
How long did this take you ?
Couple Hours each day over
A few days in winter....
Can anyone tell me why he removed the plenum?
For a previous video on air intake
speedkar99 oh ok
Your video helped me remove my engine from my g35
Your didnt have to unbolt the headers but
I spent over an hour attempting to unbolt the headers, i just couldnt get the bolt that was facing the opposite way on either side
I ended up removing the cats and pulling the engine forward a bit to have more room to remove the headers
Simple
If a toothbrushe do all this stuff, what could be happen with a shaver?
Haha a shaver would do more harm..it's sharp!
Keep going man i like what u do
enjine removed i like this
Dose anyone know what this man looks like
How many hours were logged to remove it?
I took my time and removed it across many days. I'd say 8-10 hours total with filming
Wiring harness take up the most time to undo
What happened to the engine?
The engine was working fine 😌
Hey bro, I wanted one video which you have deleted. Pls help
Check my other channel, speedkar100.
Which video was it?
Buy a drain pan.
Right..........that's not a lot of work at all... :-/
No it's not bad on a g35
Where can i get that impact wrench?
Canadian tire
@@speedkar99i mean cordless impact wrench. is there any online seller?what brand?how much?
Do a Ls swap video 😂
Good idea
He cant do it on that car because it has been cut up
Hey you followed my Instagram 😉
8:10 wrestled the engine out
Life without a working engine crane...
@@speedkar99 i know, we two men lifted 4k engine of ke70 corolla with one long pipe and chains,
Could you show a picture of your brother's teeth? After so many years of using that toothbrush, they must look strange...
Haha good one
It's destruction of a car .......not engine removal
Hey it was a scrap car 😌
Dada English buo joetapo dada Assamese Kobe
is that speedkar99 brother car? hmmmm?
Close! He actually has a G37
I just wish I could be you , so many years && nothing I have grown
The best way to learn is to actual do
a infiniti old crap, never seen such dirty engin bay before, I guess the car ower is a dusty, rusty ,oily and lazy thing ...
Aww man this car was very neglected
I hope I never have to remove an engine!
Well at least not with this method
WOW, this guy's so sloppy. I'd go crazy if I worked with him.
Battery first broooooo
True. But I like living life on the edge.
try to change ur name to how to remove hacks
When will you do a face reveal
Never
@@speedkar99 why brooo
What a mess!!
Yeah messy job
You can sell some engine parts for extra $$$
True. But I'd rather grind them apart to see what's inside and how it works.
Sorry no! How to disassemble a car!
Yep. More to come
Cars are such piles of junk compared to how motorcycles are designed and built
1st
Congrats !
I like Scotty Kilmer's video on that better - way more informative.
Now why would you think that?
