The engine hoist sounds like the smartest play - just need to get over the intimidation of removing my first one.

Do you build a wood frame or dolly to set the powerplant on after removal? I have r ...

Great tips. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't have an overhead lift or engine hoist. I have a floor jack and Harbor Freight transmission jack.

Appreciate the good catch RonD2. Another project to add to my list. Looks like these have been there for some time without failure. But sounds important to install correct mounts.
