Well I'll keep it short. I'm 16, inexperienced, armed with a hayens manual and the internet, and am attempting to swap a used engine into my family's old 5 speed galant that has been sitting in the driveway since 2008.
Sorry for the bad pictures, I'm not good at taking them hahah. More pictures, and better ones, will come soon!

Now I already disconnected the hoses and my friends(also inexperienced) and I were trying to pull the engine to no avail. I've been reading on these forums that the engine can be pulled without actually removing the transmission from the car, so all we did was unbolt all the connections, but when we actually tried pulling the motor the flywheel was caught onto the transmission and there was no angle we could pull the motor where the flywheel/clutch wouldn't be still in the transmission.
Would a load leveler solve this problem or do I really need to pull the transmission in order to pull out the motor?
I'm desperate for help :orangecry:
