The Haynes manual didn't mention this but the hand brake cables have to be removed. There is a clip bolted on to the brake back plate. The bolt had a length of rod welded to it. Somebody had found it difficult to put this back and found a cunning way of doing it. handbrakecable.jpg (7891 bytes)
The engine lifted out easily. liftengine.jpg (27109 bytes)
