Hello, unfortunately my 2007 es350 has developed a serious knocking and I’m afraid it is at the end of its life. I am wondering, where and how would I connect the hoist to lift the engine out of the bay? Anything would help.

Also any tips or tutorials on removing the engine is also welcomed. It is a bad day for my car.

thank you.

 

The engine comes out the bottom. Here is a great video on it from the Car Care Nut:

 

yes I’ve seen the repair calls for this, but I do not have access to the lift and only have an engine crane. I’ve seen people lift it without issue I am just wondering how to do that safely and secure.
