The manufacturer recommends removing the power unit (engine with gearbox) down. This requires a lift to raise the front of the car higher. In a garage environment without a lift, you will need a jack, as well as strong and high enough supports to support the raised front of the car on them. This will make it possible to remove the engine from under it, lowered to the garage floor.
GOOD ADVICE: The engine is very heavy, so we recommend that you remove it with an assistant and use special equipment (lift, hoist, etc.).
WARNING: When removing and installing a power unit assembly with a large mass, use only fully serviceable lifting mechanisms designed for the appropriate load, and especially carefully control the correctness and reliability of connecting cables, traverses, etc. to the transport eyes of the engine.
