Drainthe oil out of the gearbox first or it will leak every where. You will have to tilt the engine up at the front quite steeply unless you take the nosecone etc off. I usually get it out as far as I can then put a plank across the chassis under the engi

Also put a jack under the rear of the gearbox and remove the cross member completely, then the rear can be lowered as you lift the front.
