Nomad Engine Removal

ndbigfish · 08-10-2009, 07:06 AM

Does any one have a simple and cost effective method to remove the motor out of a Nomad? You about need to use two jacks or a jack and a lift of some kind. The repair manual shows a engine lift/stand that is "commerically available"; but not that I can find.

My poor old '99' (1500cc) began to hemorrhage Royal Purple out of the rocker cover last week. I went by the dealer on Friday and their shop technician looked it over and said the last repair like mine took 18 hours of labor. Lets see..... 18 hours × $65 an hour = Ouch!

I have nearly everything off to extract the motor but the right side frame and the running board assembly. I need a good way to support the engine I as remove the motor from the frame and support the motor while I work on the rocker covers. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
