Charles, and Wim,

Using an engine hoist was suggested back a while ago, but was probably not 
followed through at that time........if there is no reasonable attachment 
point for a real hoist, this would seem a logical alternative, and while they 
can be rented, as Charles points out, they also can be purchased easily 
enough and are not all THAT expensive.  Check out this website:
