Need to replace the freeze plugs on my 89 Lancer Shelby. Looks like I have to pull the engine to do it. Haven't done this before. Assuming it has to come out through the top. Have garage and engine hoist. Questions:

a) how big a deal is this? one day, weekend? just a best guess

b) no need to remove the turbo before lifting engine, right?

c) is there a "step-by-step" on this, i.e. " remove hood, remove wheels and axles, disconnect hoses and wires, disconnect from exhaust pipe, etc." particularly looking for any "gotchas"; really don't need any surprises

Looking forward to getting this done.

Thanks, John in Charlotte, NC
