I just have the HarborFreight one with the chains it’s OK. I took the crank handle off & double nutted the thread rod so I could use a battery operated drill.

Have fun!

Yup, exactly. It's just easier on the lift moving the car up and down slightly as needed without the need to even bend over really.

Here are a couple pics of me doing exactly that. Installing a complete 455/400 turbo with accessories in the Firebird I restored.

Another shot doing the same thing in a 57 T-bird I restored.

Another one as I just finished dropping in the entire assembly in a 69 Mach 1 Mustang I restored.
