You actually dont need to take out the engine. You can lower the engine down to the crossmember and take off all of the stuff in the way to gain access to all of the fittings. Just removed all of my fittings, jb weld and pinned. Some people decide to weld......different topic. Fixed a bunch of other stuff while I was there.
I will say that when I pulled on one of my coolant hoses, the insert came completely out in my hand. No joke, its an issue with these cars. Not if, when.
