I can see I got lucky, because my removal and installation required no pry bar, no force, no leveller or anything. Just a short chain from two intake manifold bolts as I describe in previous reply. The chain was so tight that the giraffe hook was around 10" lower than comp2's and Marlin Jack's pictures, and thereby cleared the rear lip without problem. And I had the car on 4 jack stands all the time. No clearing problems going over the rear, no clearing problem below the rear lip, and not touching wood/window, but close.
Just my $0.02...
