Norto, I did mine a month or two ago, the LH side engine mount has to be loosened and the engine jacked up on that side to as far as you can, even then it is a bit of a fiddle.
Hope this helps, PM me if you want more info.

The auto trans guy said that the oil was ok and that the filter was clean and not
to change it next time. very good considering what it has been through.
The costs are as follows
sump (which has built in filter) $170
oil $125
labour (included fitting fuel filter, $360
could have been a lot more) Pete
