Hi. I'm removing the engine from my Mach and am a bit stuck in a couple of areas:

1) Looking on the forum, the recommendation for lifting points is the bell-housing and the alternator mounts. I have removed the mounting bolts and electrical connections from the alternator, but it is trapped by the cross-head cooling pipe. I've taken the pulley off the water pump, but that's not helped. Is there a trick, or does the coolant pipe come out at this point? How is the pipe attached? Is it a push fit, and are there tricks for removing it.

On a related note, how do you feed a strop or rope down to the bell-housing bolts. There's no obvious room.

2) The engine loom has a big connector on the passenger-side inner fender, but is also connected to the fuse box with no intermediate connector. Does anybody know how the terminal cover in the end of the fuse box comes off?

Thanks
Richard
