I need to replace the RIGHT (large) side subframe on my 1994 CS Turbo. In order to do this, I plan to hold the engine up, attached to the transmission and the left side mount, while swapping out the other parts.
Does anyone have any good ideas for this procedure? I have seen beams made of box steel or 4x4s used to support the engine for clutch replacements, but in those cases the main engine mounts are still carrying the bulk of the engine weight, and the left (transmission) side of the engine is where the hook is located. Will this also work for the right side subframe without letting the engine move too far? Is it a better idea to move the lifting hook to the right side of the engine and suspend it there? Do I need to rent an engine hoist or will a beam do the trick? How about a combination of a beam and jacking up the oil pan (over a piece of plywood)?
Looking for all good experience/ideas on this!
