How do I get my 1996 mazda 626 motor low enough to remove to crankcase pully?

Question

I have removed the passenger front motor mount and still I cant get the motor low enough to remove the crank case pully all I need is 3 more inches.........

Answer 1

Don't know what kind of engine, or subframe layout, but you could try LOOSENING (not removing) another engine mount or two, WITH A JACK SUPPORTING THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE.

Answer 2

Put a jack under your engine. Use a flat piece of wood and put it between the jack and the oil pan.Which is where you'll put the jack. Remove the front motor mount or mounts and have the jack already putting some upward force on the engine slowly lower the engine. If it doesn't get low enough you may have to remove the other motor mounts too. When you install the pulley again all you should have to do is jack up the engine and reinstall the mounts you took off.
