Getting the nose in the air isn't difficult. Shadetree Mechanic version:
As others have said, use a jack etc. to lower the subframe onto whatever
sort of trolley or palet you have. To raise the car off the engine, I've
used a floor jack, stands, and a few 4x4 or 4x6 wood blocks.
- Jack up left front corner, insert stand.
- Place a wood block on top of your jack.
- Jack up right front corner, insert stand on a pair blocks.
- Jack up left front corner, insert blocks under stand.
The bottom radiator support should now clear the engine. If not, use double
layer of blocks under your jack stands.
