EDIT: actually i dont think you needed the engine bar/hoist for it but i think i just wasnt able to reach a bolt or something.
From allot of reading and from what I understand you do need an engine hoist to lift the engine out a bit to get to that tight spot. So I think I will go get some price quotes to see how much I need to empty my pockets. Sucks to pay close to $1000.00 to replace a #$%@#$%@ $5.0 part.
