it doesn't HAVE to come out from the bottom, but thats the easiest way.

alot of guys dont have a hard time pulling it out from the top either, just depends on if you have the proper equipment and room to pull from the bottom or top.

if you have access to a lift Ive heard the bottom is easier. But i dont have a lift so we pulled it from the top.

Bottom is easier to do but through the top is possible

So you're saying your friends drive slow cars.

Top os not hard at all. Search in the internal engine section and you can probably find a step by step for it.

I pull the front bumper off to get the cherry picker in far enough. Then you simply rotate the engine a little when pulling it out.



I have never tried the bottom method.
