Unbolted the mounts from the towers, put a wood block under the front of the pan and jacked up with my floor jack. Put some 2x2's between the mounts and the towers. Removed the cover off the flywheel too. If you have the pan off you should be able to put a block on the bottom of the block or balancer too.
As you're lifting have someone watch to see if anything else is getting in a bind or a hose is getting stretched.
