You can pull that motor, it isn't that hard... it just looks intimidating. Do you have tools? can you get a hoist?

Basically you need to unbolt take out and disconnect everything that connects the motor to the car. Once you do that just hook up the chains and jack it out... Its that easy...

If you want to try it out let us know we can get you started in the right direction and walk you through it. Hell think of it as a motor101 crash course.
