All my sawhorses are half sawn through!

I've used the floor jack method since my '68 Westy days.  I could R&R that
engine in 30 minutes.  I know that because I got it all installed once, and
forgot the throw out bearing!  I didn't find that out until I completed the
last hook up--the clutch cable.

The WBX takes a bit longer though.

when I've pulled the engine on my diesel westy, I simply set up a sawhorse
over the engine hatch and lowered it to the ground with a chain hoist.
