just wondering now, cause while i had my gemini i couldnt do it and i sold it with the dead one still on it, but, once the starter motor is disconnected with the 2 bolts and wires, how the fuck do you get it out of the engine bay without undoing an engine mount, it keeps hitting stuff like the brake booster and inlet manifold. |

Undo the bolt that is on the engine mount, Get a jack and a peice of wood. Place the bit of wood under the sump and jack the engine up about 3 inch's and it should slide out under the inlet manafold =) |

u can get it out without moving nething, just rotate and twist between the inlet manifold and the engine mount and it will come out, did it out the front of me gf's house. |
