I know we're beating a dead horse now but ditto on long bolt method. Even though I had the Hayne's manual and downloaded instructions, my mechanic didnt even refer to them and just went by common sense upon close inspection

This is awesome! What does something like that cost?

Anyone know of a hoist for hire in Sydney, would be good to know...

They are not very expensive really. I am planning on having a hoist for when my new shed goes up next year. A 2 post lift like a mechanic would use is only $2500-$3500.

If you do not have a workshop or the floor is not thick enough to support a hoist you can get something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-6000Lb-2 ... 5893c2aff0
