Anybody have any experience with removing the engine. Would you recommend out the top our out the bottom? Is there an option where I can leave the turbo attached? Is it possible/reasonable to remove the automatic transmission while leaving the engine intact (I need to replace the rear main seal).
Thanks

Remove only the transmission to replace the rear engine seal. You have to support the engine from above because you will be loosening one side of the subframe if you have the Volvo transmission jack adapter (picture 2) - or removing the subframe completely to make room for a generic transmission jack
