Here are some shots of the engine being pulled ... bought the engine lift on craigs list along with an engine stand for $100.00 ... guy never used it ... was still in the box ... worked great.

Engine out and on the stand ... great feeling :-)

Engine out another view

Although the fender removal is fairly easy ... I had a hard time finding all of the bolts ... the advice on the Web was all over the map, so I thought I would post some photos of the bolt locations to make this easier for everyone ...
