Look into what you need to do. Plan how to do it.

Make sure you have all the tools needed. Engine crane, axel stands etc.

Take your time. It's easier than you think.

I took a 2 litre out of my mates corsa and back in again.

Was sooo simple. You'll have no problem. Just don't forget the gear linkage!
