Removing Energy lump
Drain coolant and oils
Radiator and hoses out
Disconnect fuel lines
Take out driveshafts
Unbolt exhaust
Remove earths
Disconnect loom connections
Unplug coil lead
Cambelt off
Inlet manifold and carb off
Undo head bolts
Withdraw cylinder head
Unbolt engine mounts
Bottom end out

Is this more or less right? Anything I've forgotten? And is there a better order to do it in than the way I've got it above?

Forgot to say, I've got someone wanting the cylinder head and I also have no engine hoist, so I'm gonna have to do it half-and-half if ya get me.

Well I've disconnected the gear linkage at the other end beneath the 'box. Gaitor off and took the nut and bolt off.

Suspension struts are off also, two hub bolts and two top mount bolts, easy. Didn't think it would be though.

How do you release the driveshafts from the hubs? And where the hell is the fecking rollpin?
