Unbolt the subframe, shocks, jack the car up really high. You can use cinder blocks in a locking pattern on the back, maybe a level or two. Drop the jacks and wheel that engine out of there. Engine and trans out in 2 hrs or less.
Thanks for the feedback! It’s honestly not that bad of a job hardest part is yanking out the engine and that bolt holding the cv-axle bracket. May be worth spraying it a few days ahead cause it was crazy tight on mine
@@tonytorques haha sooo about that. I got the job all done this morning runs like a champ for a junkyard engine. But the bearing on the cv axle that sits in that bracket you are talking about was so seized in there I ruined the axle. Had to pry and air hammer it out. It was like a 100$ so not horrible. Lol but your video helped out big time. I was planning on dropping out bottom. Glad I didn't do all that. Thanks bud
@@justin7943x glad you got it done! I’m telling ya that bracket was one of the worst to deal with ha great to hear that the video helped! Not too bad then 🤙🏽
Hey this video is absolutely fantastic! Very to the point in full of great information! I was writing to you because I have the same vehicle but mine is a 2.5 L four-cylinder, do you know if the same principles apply?
Thanks! Been working on keeping the videos short and informational 🤙🏽 yes it should be the same principal, the engine I installed was actually off a car but it still bolted on with a few modifications. Therefore the same procedures should apply!
@@tonytorques man your channel (its it’s like this video) will blow mine away! Shoot in landscape instead of portrait and keep up with the content. Also, post your videos everywhere you can that they are relevant - like this one in a rav4 group etc and kindly ask folks to subscribe if they like it. I just hit it last week already make $10 hahaha. I can see your channel doing extremely well. I subscribed. 2.5 block is smaller that 2.4 block!?
@@zeronw7612 process should pretty much be the same, the body style and engine stayed the same maybe just slightly different harness but the major steps in this vid should be the same
@@tonytorques but the clutch has to be removed from the fly wheel, otherwise there isn’t enough clearance to pull the engine up. The torque converter can be detached, but I’m not sure the clutch can be, or can it be?
@@TimezUp23 ah ok yea the flywheel cannot be unattached without taking out the pressure plate and clutch first, you may be able to jack up the engine and trans together to get the clearance to pull the trans out first then the engine so it actually would be a little more work
Dang if it’s seized and no way it’s gonna turn, then you would have to remove the engine oil pan and then disconnect the main rod bearings caps from the crankshaft. That way the crankshaft can free spin and allow you to turn it over
Please subscribe! I’m as broke as the Ford Focus
Plz I want the exact name and number and spec No of this engine like it’s acv31 or avc36 and model
Straight to the point . Excellent explaintaion I just got me engine from wrecked toyota hyprid prius got 2az fe . I'm going swap my rav4 today .

It's easier this way, done a full swap and running in 5 hours taking breaks. Love 4 cylinders 😊
That’s the proper way to do it according to the books, never seen it done though 🤔 plus my garage is pretty small 😅
Very good video. Thanks I got one this weekend to do.

Great video, thanks for the info.
No problem! Thanks for the shout out

@@tonytorques thanks! So the 2.5 isn’t any bigger external dimensions wise?
Not really just the block is slightly smaller and the head is a little different 💯
Also great job on the 1k subs! Been wanting to get there! Just gotta keep posting!

Do you think the same tips you are giving in this video apply to pull a 2001 AWD Rav4 1AZ engine out?
Yes should be pretty similar
Nice video!
How long takes to replace the motor?
Tnx
Thanks! It took me about 8 hours to do 🤔 would have been faster if I had all the tools ha
My 2008 toyota rav4 sport needs a new engine and was wondering if it would be the same process? Its a 2.4L based on my vin that I looked up.
@@zeronw7612 process should pretty much be the same, the body style and engine stayed the same maybe just slightly different harness but the major steps in this vid should be the same
Would you say this procedura will be the same for the 2.5 2AR-FE engine?
I think it is the same since the transmission is the same and only the block is bigger but process is similar
Awesomeness
Thanks for your support!
Can you pull the engine out like this with a 5 speed manual transmission, or only with an automatic?
If you got a manual transmission it’s actually easier to do the same engine pull, you can do it the same way too!

@@tonytorques ugh!
Where’s the torque converter video? Thanks for the tips!
