I quote from my PV Service Manual:

1) Lift up the vehicle about 12" above the floor and place blocks under it near the jack points.

2) Appy a lifting device under the engine mountings. N.B., DO NOT LIFT ON THE WATER PUMP. Unscrew the nuts for the front engine mounting pads from below. Lift the engine as high as possible without pinching anything on the scuttle (?) and allow it to hang on pulley blocks, a workshop hoist, and engine lifter or similar.

3) Place a jack under the front member.

4) Clean off around the brake pipe connections and the master cylinder. Disconnect the brake pipes to the front end on the master cylinder. Plug the lines in order to prevent impurities from entering the brake system.

5) Remove the four front bolts for the front member. Screw in two bolts about 2 15/16" long in place of these, one on each side. Remove the four bolts for the member.

6) Lower the front end so that it is supported in the two long bolts.

7) Remove the sump in the usual way.

Have a yourself a ball! Actually, I did it a couple of years ago, and it wasn't too bad, but then again, time is kind in that it erases unpleasant memories.
