remove front wheels.... remove the axle nut, remove brake assembly, remove axles.... unplug all wiring of the engine.... now... go get a engine hoist..... loose all bolts of the motor and tranny from motor mounts.... lift them up..... "prep" the engine bay, paint it.... install everythign back......

BTW... a lot of work..... and very difficult..... if you are alone... get someone to help (and make it less difficult)... be ready to spend 4 to 7 hours just clearing stuff up from engine bay....
