I'm in the beginning process of this, I got my car up at the top of the jack stands..or about 18 inches. I scotched (single blend )the front tires and removed the tray, then loosened the bolts slightly...just broke them to movement....and I thought this is not going to be that difficult....and then I tried to put some pressure on the pan to support the engine....it is so high I had to use my largest floor jack and a urethane jacking puck......and then the $#*&^% jack is in the way so I cannot work....tried it from the side and it is still very much right in the middle of everything.....any suggestions ??

Thanks in advance
