It's also the only way I can remove the roll hoops. They really jam in place so I used nylon straps from the crane to pull them out. Better than a hernia!!

Hi Nick,
Nope, no engine hoist
These are the sorts of things you just don't think to factor-in when doing something that should be a '5 minute job'. I wouldn't have expected to need an engine hoist to remove an intake! Oh well.
I'm going to try again tonight with a large screwdriver from the front of the intake.
Thanks,
Ian.
