Bonnie At the Castle, Part 3 February 26 2018
Removing the Engine from the Frame
The first few times I removed Bonnie's engine from her frame I used rope and a chain hoist. The engine came out alright, but the operation was quite awkward. I felt there had to be a better way.
The better way turned out to be using a floor jack to raise the engine high enough in the frame that I could wrap my arms around it and lift it out.
