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.
