The manufacturer recommends removing the power unit (engine with gearbox) down. To do this, you need a lift to raise the front of the car higher. In a garage, if you don't have a lift, you will need a jack, as well as strong and high enough supports to place the raised front of the car on. This will allow you to remove the engine from underneath it, which is lowered to the garage floor.
USEFUL TIP: The engine is very heavy, so we recommend removing it with an assistant and using special equipment (lift, hoist, etc.).
WARNING: When removing and installing a heavy power unit assembly, use only fully functional lifting equipment designed for the corresponding load, and especially carefully check the correctness and reliability of the connection of cables, crossbars, etc. to the engine transport eyes.

50. ...and remove the hose tip from the adapter.
51. Remove the exhaust pipe (see "Replacing the inlet pipe").
52. Attach the engine to the special lugs and tighten the sling (for example, a crane, a hoist or other lifting mechanism).
WARNING: Make sure the sling is securely fastened to the lifting eyes.
53. Remove the front suspension crossmember (see "Removal and installation the front suspension crossmember").
54. Remove the front wheel drives (see "Removal and installation front wheel drives").
55. Place reliable supports under the power unit (it is best to use a trolley with a lifting capacity of at least 300 kg).
56. Lower the front of the vehicle so that the power unit rests on a support or dolly.
57. Check that all wires attached to the body are disconnected from the power unit. Check that hoses, tubes and body components do not interfere with the removal of the power unit downwards.
58. Remove the right...
59. ...and the left support of the power unit suspension (see "Replacing the powertrain suspension mounts").
60. Raise the front of the car (raise the car on a lift) to a height sufficient to remove the power unit from under the vehicle, and install reliable supports under the body.
61. Remove the power unit from under the vehicle.
62. Install the power unit, as well as all removed units and parts in the reverse order of removal. When connecting wires and pipes, carefully monitor their correct location in the engine compartment, preventing contact with heating and moving elements of the power unit.
