    when i did mine i just undid the lengthways bolt, pulled it out and lifted one side at a time. make sure you dont put the jack under the oil pan without some support. then undo the 2 bolts going into the block. reverse and your done. pretty easy to do. just make sure you jack up the front end and put it on jackstands for security. p.s. that was for a v-8., but i'm sure it's similsar for a six if that's what you have.:)
