Message	The first time I did it with Jackstands, once you have the motor and subframe out you CAN pick up the front of the car by hand. You simply pick it up and have a friend move the jack stands further back till you have enough height. The next part can be done two ways, one two people walk the car back or the second (non preferred) is setting it all on a sheet of plywood and pulling it out. Lastly as I did the second time round was use a car lift. Yes I know most don't have access to one but I done it the first time as mentioned above. I do not fear what the future holds for me, I am not afraid to die.
