Or do like Matt said...use a friend...that helps too.
Yepper, set it down on the floor on blocks. Good ergonomics, bend at the knees and not the back, and don't do it very often. When I had to pull the motor out of my 982, I did run a ratchet strap to the engine mounts and put a bar through that utilizing my wife's help. Never heard the end of that. Guess I was too lazy to pull the cherry picker out. Woulda been a pain to muscle that Onan by myself though.
