[ROVERNET - UK] Engine removal

[Steve Pemberton]

Also it's NOT a good idea to use the bags with the write on panels, some
lubricants seem to react with the white and it gets every where

I also pulled the engine and auto trans without difficulty - first time
ever.  Ziploc bags are a brilliant idea. Put the labels inside the bags, so
they won't be lost. Even so, some lubricated parts will cause the labels to
come unglued, but at least they will be in the bag!
