1934 Austin 7 Box engine removal

[Malcolm Parker]

I generally undo the throttle pedal shaft at the pedal end and hinge it up out of the way.    It's a good idea to put a piece of cardboard over the gearbox in place of the cover, stops foreign bodies falling in!  I also pop a sheet of corrugated cardboard from a cardboard box between the cylinder block and the bulkhead, it saves damage when the engine is tilted up to clear the chassis nosepiece.   If you haven't done it before, it is surprising the angle you need to tilt the engine to get it out.   Once you've done it once it's like falling off a log!
