All in - pulling the 4.6 engine and trans to fix oil leaks once and for all

[stunt]

Interesting video pulling both engine and trans together!

I'm following the Bentley manual, and it states the tranny has to be removed before the engine can be pulled, which is why I got the engine support bar.

I might try pulling them together instead. I just about got the front clip off anyway.

I was able to get the right side motor mount top bolt off no problem, but the left (drive's side) is a pain to get to. I can get my hand on it from below, but can't get a wrench in there. Any tips?

Also, on the hood, I'm wondering if I can undo the clips and lay it against the windshield (with a towel in between of course). This way I don't have to worry about re-aligning later. I know there is also a service position, but I don't seem to be able to locate the special bracket that is needed.
