Taking the body off the MX5 tomorrow any advice ? It's not heavy, but it's awkward. I used an engine crane and lifting chain bolted into the seat mounting points to take the main weight, then just need 1 person on the crane and one at one end of the car to stabilise as you lift. Make sure all earth straps and exhaust rubbers are off, gearlever trims etc. |

Think the manual states 14 securing bolts, but being an NB, you may also find 2 extra surprises in the form of this U-shape strap on the rear sub-frame.  |
