This reminded me of a question I've always had.  How do you pull this sucker
if you don't have the special tool?

        Be sure to support the engine, since the front starter motor bolt
        also secures the engine to the front motor mount.  If you use a
        jackstand (the easiest way), stick a flat piece of wood between
        it and the oilpan to spread the load evenly.  Otherwise you risk
        putting a dent or hole in the pan (losing your oil on the freeway
        would be a bad thing).
        Also, be sure to get a motor rebuilt by Bosch, and use a new
        starter bushing in the transmission case (the Bosch motors should
        come with one).
