Pulling the engine myself - what is the best method?

[Acecool]

I got a cherry picker and engine stabilizer from pepboys and I was wondering what do I hook the 4 or 2 of the metal hook things to?

Once I have that figured out I know how to get the rest out..

I am doing this to fix some front end damage and swap once I get all the parts that got messed up from JDM online...

Either... wrap a chain around the intake and exhaust manifolds(you can balance it differently depending on what runner you put it on) OR you can get 2 bolts and thread them through the right places. Looking from the passanger side of the engine, one is on the top right of the head. There should be a ground bolted to one of the holes. It is a flat spot with 2 bolt holes in it. The same goes for the exhaust side.

You got an engine balancer??? I just used a chain wrapped around intake runner 1 And then either through exhaust mani if it's there or if missing then motor mount bracket. Done swaps this way.... One time used a seatbelt as the chain
