It's a breeze! Follow the TM........

I had to put a clutch in mine and before I replaced it, I attempted to adjust the pressure plate several times, so I have a LOT of experience pulling the engine in and out.

Very simple, with some exceptions. The aircleaner and muffler nuts are hard to get to, they will require some wobbly and u-joint extensions and patience.

Once everything is loose, put a 2 x 4 under the oil pan and roll a floor jack under it, slightly lower the engine and slide back. GO SLOW.

Putting it back is the reverse. I did it by myself after the first few tries.

Like Clinto said, it's easy. The biggest thing is install/set the clutch up correct or you will get alot of practice pulling/installing the engine.
