When the lift is at a workable height, we raise the table to the engine, unloading the mounts so they can be removed, then raise the car up away from the table. Now you can either lower the table and separate the engine and gear box, or roll it out from under the car.


Yep, this is how I did it. My scissors lift only provides 48" of height. I did cheat a little and put the car on alignment stands then added an 8" spacer extension on the lift arms.
