Default Try this

Maybe I have over simplified the task but, I bought an inexpensive engine hoist and nylon lifting strap. I reach above the engine and attach the hoist using the nylon strap it to the engine mount. It has worked perfect the one time I have tried it.

No need to worry about a jack slipping and puncturing a wing. If the hoist does leak down, the worst thing that happens is an axle touches the ground.

Me too Dean. Great for the hangar but doesn't travel well...

We may have the same hoist.
