Default Dropping motor from the bottom, 96-00 EK stock motor

pretty sure i got everything that would be in way and ready to drop the motor out from the bottom. i loosened the two front mounts, removed the bolts on the two lower ones, but not sure what i need to loosen/remove for the rear tranny mount.

can i do this with one jack? it's a michelin 3 1/2 ton jack and got 4 jack stands.

drop the motor out first b4 you start to move the car...once the motor is actually sitting on the ground, then start to figure out how to lift to front end to remove the motor

lol nobody is reading your question gotta love that... i just pulled my tranny on my ek and yeah those three bolted to the tranny are the ones for the rear mount, take em all the way out. as for it droppin on you if all mounts are loose itd be smart to make sure the thing is supported so it wont drop on you even if it could one jack is probably fine but if you are nervous get two
