I Finally Got The Xterra Engine Out

Finally got the VG33E out of my 2002 Xterra: after 180,000 miles, rusted motor mounts, a custom tool, and yeah... dumping more coolant on the shop floor. This is Part 2 of the Nissan Xterra engine removal. In Part 1 I showed what to do BEFORE you start pulling the VG33E — the engine comes out in this video so don't skip Part 1 to understand the preparation. The hoist is out and the engine finally comes out. If you're pulling a first-gen Xterra, Frontier, or Pathfinder VG33E, this is exactly what fights you.
