I didn't pull the whole motor out of mine. I did have to raise it up about 4-5 inches and even then it was a PITA.

What is stopping him from just dropping the oil pan? Is it the cross brace that sits underneath the oil pan? Doesn't it just unbolt?

i changed mine by pullin the motor.....if ya have access to a engine hoist, i would say its easier to pull it, while you got it out can take a look at the bearings and oil pump....least that is what i did.
