W-12 engine removal

F-Dean · May 30, 2010

We are in the process of rebuilding a W-12 and are having trouble pulling the engine. We have removed the front motor mounts and 3 bolts at the rear of the engine.

It "Wiggles" but will not move forward. Are we missing a bolt somewhere or it just the drive shaft stuck in the clutch?

It may be stuck on the dowels. Look closely around that bell housing for more bolts. Make sure you have the engine well supported on an engine hoist and use big screwdrivers or pinch bars to pry the engine from the dowels. If it has a starter there's probably a bolt in there
that needs to be removed. I'm sure there's more than 3 bolts. Hal

as hal says, it must be just the two dowel pins holding it. mine was really tight also.
