I will remove the rear bumper either tonight or tomorrow. BTW, is your C2 Targa or Cab? It appears to be same color as mine which is Amazon green.
Hey BW, if you can do it with jack stands, why can't I with a Maxjax?

I measured the engine height from the bottom of heat exchanger to the top and it is approximately 28 inches. If you can get 32 inches from floor to bottom of bumper, maybe you don't have to take out the bumper with your ATV jack set up. I am using a furniture dolly and will just raise the car. Technically speaking, it is not an engine drop, it's raising the car with the engine resting on the dolly on the ground.

Yes I have amazon green coupe.

Hamptonsam, I just went ahead and got started not knowing if I will need special tools. Maybe not. The only challenge i see is the oil fitting in the rear passenger wheel well. Maybe I will need a crows foot wrench or just two big crescent wrenches depending how tight there are. Other than that, I think it will be just regular wrenching tools.
