How do you pull an engine from a 1999 Chevy S-10 ZR2?

Answer 1

While Ive never removed a motor from an S10, typically, all engines are removed in a similar way. Jack the truck up and secure it on GOOD jackstands. Start out by disconnecting the battery. Drain oil and coolant. Next, disconnect the fuse for the fuel pump, start the motor, and let the truck run until it dies. Unscrew the gas cap. These two steps relieve fuel pressure. Next, unhook all electrical connections from the motor. Some of these include o2 sensors, evap sensors, etc. Anywhere you find a connection or wiring harness, unplug it. Disconnect the air intake piping and place it to the side. Disconnect the exhaust piping. Double check all connections around the sides of the motor. Make sure all electrical and ground wiring, fuel connections, and piping are detached. Remove the hood if you haven't already done so. Attach the engine to an engine hoist using proper lifting straps. Jack up the hoist until the slack is out of the straps. Now locate all of mount bolts and carefully remove them. Start jacking the hoist up. Double check to make sure everything is disconnected. Rotate and move the hoist as required. Remove the motor.
