My concern is the weight of that aluminium cradle and "twisting" forces if you use some normal or eye bolts.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What's the proper method to lift that crankcase cradle with engine hoist/lift? The factory tool is of course a safe method and makes sense but since nobody has that what's the next best alternative. My concern is the weight of that aluminium cradle and "twisting" forces if you use some normal or eye bolts. Someone has done it like this.

POST 3Original post

I screwed four head bolts into the carrier and then enlisted a second set of hands to lift that puppy. No way I could muster that solo and I don�t have a cherry picker. I have seen people rig a ratchet strap around some head bolts and lift with the cherry picker too.

Reassembly. When I disassembled that it wasn't too difficult to lift by myself. Yes, it's heavy but there are some locations where you can put your hands and then just lift. Reassembly is more difficult because you need to align that with dowel pins, make sure that the rubber seals don't get pinched etc. Ok, perhaps it would be nice to have a easy diy solution just in case there's a need to do it solo. I have a couple of ideas but if someone has a bulletproof method.....'? ps. I have this cherry picker tool - came with the engine hoist -> https://www.bahco.com/int_en/engine-...ac1-680a_.html
