I post this suggestion so often I probably sound like a broken record...

A gear wrench makes working with the mount nuts so much easier. It's not necessary, but saves a lot of time (and maybe some cussing) working in the spaces where your ratchet wont clear. The size I used to do the job was 17mm, but it's probably wise to measure your own.

I used a floor jack with a 2x4 under the crank pulley to jack up the engine, if you do this, be careful, the engine could rock and pinch your hand.

If you'd like to fabricate a lift for this job, probably more stable, look here.

The hook goes through the front lift eye, bolted to the head just above the distributor.

Good luck.
