Either way if you still have the head & such connected, you just need to raise the car a little higher than that! | |

any advice for someone doing it for the first time? I've pretty much got most stuff that the haynes manual asks for. Just thinking how am going to move the thing from under the car, may have a flat trolly knocking about. | |
