Hardest part on the Turbo motor pull for me was the darn exhaust nuts/bolts. Especially the elbow....

There was also some frustration with the oil return line, I believe...

Other than that, it was relatively simple. Use lots of penetrating oil. LOTS!!!!

There should be a hook plate on the alternator mount right where the alternator bracket bolts to the engine on the front right, and another hook plate on the far left corner of the engine in the back. These are the lift points the factory used when they installed the engine.
