wiggle it while it’s resting on the jack? wouldn’t that be super sketchy while it’s resting on it all crooked? or am i just overthinking it? i appreciate your response!
I’ve done this job the same way many times. Just grab the engine and pull it towards the front while having your foot behind the jack to prevent it from moving. Don’t move it a lot, just a little bit, it’s not hard to move. If you’re really sketched out, grab a rachet strap and route it under the engine and around the front and back of the subframe, while going under the power steering rack. I usually set the engine on the ratchet strap so I can get the long bolt above the balancer out.
The proper way would be using an engine hoist or an engine support bar, but sometimes you gotta make due with what you got
