pndjones is an unknown quantity at this point
I don't have any pictures but I used a 4x4 piece of wood and chain I had laying around to hold the engine in place. I placed the 4x4 piece of wood across my car from strut tower to strut tower. then wrapped a chain around the intake manifold and the 4x4 then proceeded to unbolt the motor mounts and then drop the cross member. I didn't have to remove the steering rack of anything. Also I used the Nissan RTV to reseal my pan. Its good stuff I keep a tube of that stuff around. To reinstall the subframe I would recommend using a tranny jack or ATV/Motorcycle jack if you have one but a regular one would work too. Its a little ghetto way of doing it but it worked without any problems so I figured I would throw it out there.
