   Yeah, easiest way to do it aswell if you havent got an Engine crane.
   
   
   Jack the front on the car up, get 2 jacks under the sump and gearbox, and lower both down in sync to the floor. Drag it out under the front or Passenger side.
   
   How I did mine, was out pretty quickly

   Pretty much.
   
   With a couple of people you could lift the car up and over if you wanted to.
   If theres just one of you, its a bit of a ballache

   when i had my saxo, i took engine out through the top , but when i was stripping it for parts as i couldn't get the hub nuts off, i dropped the struts/shafts/box and engine to the floor and lifted car over

    Good, cause were going to put a couple jacks under the engine as the car will be be on ramps so we'll just lift the ramps up.
    
    Good, that makes life easier.
