Uhh basically I never pulled the engine before and it got cold in NJ and I wouldn't have enough room in my garage to get the engine puller in front...and basically I tend to always do this stuff the difficult way, but honestly it wasn't as bad as you would think...the bad things were the EGR bolts into the lower plenum and a few stripped bolts...otherwise there were no ridiculous snags...the turbo/head/precats were just heavy as one unit to line up on a head gaskets and to align with exhaust pipe..kind of a good accomplishment though..But if it happens again I would probably pull the engine and do a lot of other engine bay work while i was at it
