i always leave the shafts and starter motor in and pull the g/box over to the nearside, then i use the spare wheel bolt to hold the engine and box lined up (arrowed) then rock the engine onto the spline (while tightening the bolt)

Ahh I didn't think off that bolt trick to line it up, how about lifting the engine level so it's lines with the drivers mount ? Do I place a jack with a wood under sump then take then engine out so when I put new engine in, it lines up where I left it ?

Am guessing the gearbox will not go down if I leave the the mounts on, but with out a trolly jack under it, coz I only have 1 jack

Just block it up with something instead

Can I just use crates under gearbox and trolly under engine ?

I thought you had a jack?
Use anything that will support the weight
Breeze blocks, wood, etc
Wood, pallets, bricks, metal pole across the chassis with a rope around the gearbox, family, friend, trusty dog?
A gearbox isnt that heavy on a K11 so dont worry too much

the engine is sitting on the trolley jack mate, and you can see i have left 1 g/box mount bolt in (arrowed) for support, so you just need to rock the engine free
when you take the other 2 bolts out the g/box swings to the nearside a couple of inches, and that gives you enough room to pull the engine out

Ahhh I get it now the 1 bolt holding the gearbox mount allows me to rock it back so the engine is free for 2 inches more to push out?the engine is sitting on the trolley jack mate, and you can see i have left 1 g/box mount bolt in (arrowed) for support, so you just need to rock the engine free

Thats the best option by miles. Just remember you'll need 3l of new gearbox oil and a pan to catch the gearbox oil when you pull driveshafts.

I have put all the loom on one side near battery was, and will fit Thottle body in last so I can see the rear not catching nothingIt's pretty easy, just lift slowly, keep an eye on things like the pulleys catching on the master cylinder and should be fine
