I fully agree with Mr. Potts, the weight of both is too much, even with 2 or
3 guys. I work alone and i have to remove at least 2 engine per week for
different reason... A motorcycle jack is very good also, me, i use Mr. Jack,
an 1958 big scary jack. As for putting the engine back, you just need a good
clutch alignment tool. If you have an Automatic, you NEED TO REMOVE THE
TORQUE CONVERTER SCREWS BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE ENGINE, or you WILL damage the
Seal and maybe the TC itself.
