Ok
Me and my mate had to take the 16v engine out one of the vitara's were breaking, engine was a doddle, disconnected everything ready to be separated from the gearbox, undone the bolts connecting the box to the block and it DID NOT move. A hour of scratching our heads, a few smacks with a persueder and a slight bit of stress starting to show we devised a plan.
Bolted the engine back onto the mounts and done this......
After this was done the box was unbolted and removed, car pushed back over and engine removed no problems!

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
