    tools:

    2 jack stands
    1 floor jack
    2 wheel chocks or makeshift chocks
    1 piece of semisoft wood
    sockets for motor mounts


    how to safely remove:

    put car on stands, put chocks behind rear wheels

    get wood piece, put on floor jack. pump up until wood is safely against a safe part of the bottom of the oil pan, jack up just one micron above that, and leave it there.
    Replace mounts. torque to spec.

    done.

    LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
