Default Engine removal - Quick Jacks

So do the quick Jacks get a 911 high enough to remove an engine? I am liking the portability and if I could use for that as well I’m sold !

Yes. You may have to remove your intake and you will want a low profile (ATV) jack under the engine for the most clearance.

Removing the rear bumper helps too.

i just took my rear bumper off ...

keep in mind that can be a project in itself so take your time ...

soak those tiny nuts for the bellows as they can be corroded on pretty good. ease them off slowly. you will have to undo the lights in the bumperetts to string the wiring back through the bumper.

Note that the above comments about having to remove the rear bumper are for g-body or later cars. If you have a longhood, you just remove the bumperettes and the license plate panel. Which is dead simple and quick.

good catch on that. Yeah Mines a G body. I do think I will get the jacks. I can use them on other cars as well. Cool system
