ok dude the best way ive found is take out the passenger side motor mount and lift that side of the motor up some and them you can get your have over there. id use a engine hoist if i were you but if you dont have one to can use a floor jack on the oil pan but make sure you have something between it and the oil pan to evenly distribute the weight.
