So last night I did the first of the prepwork for pulling the engine. First I got the batteries disconnected and out of there. Next I disconnected the air intake back to the turbo. I pulled the relocated PMD and extension harness. I pulled the stock skid plates and splash guards off the bottom front.

Next I started trying to drain the antifreeze, (without making a mess in the garage) but the drain port that you hook a hose to was pointing straight down into the lower radiator support, so no luck on that front. I started trying to siphon the antifreeze from the top radiator port, and got several gallons out. Ran out of time, but I will have to start pulling hoses off the bottom to finish getting the coolant out.
