So after an epic battle with the ball joint, I finally got it free, got everything else unbolted, and got ready to drop the subframe. The problem is that when I went to get the 4x4 across the engine bay, lift, and wedge a 2x4 under it the lip by the firewall looks to be bending. It's not even holding the full weight of the motor/trans, and is warping a bit. I can't see how it's going to hold it.
Is there some exact place I need to get this 4x4? I have it almost exactly over the supercharger fuel rails.
