I'm looking at attempting to repair our Sebring myself. Reading the shop manual I find that pulling the engine involves lifting the body off of the engine, rather than the other way around. Looking around for a hoist that can do this, I come across this video. It shows what goes on in repairing the damage from a little fender-bender and lasts about 5 minutes. Starting at the 2:35 mark, they devote about ten seconds to lifting the body off of the engine.
I am planning on trying to do this with an engine hoist. I will probably have to build some kind of jig to be able to lift the car body. Might be able to use a couple of 4 x 4's chained together. We shall see.

Perg: I've reach two possible conclusions about you. Either you are really cool. Or you have a death wish.
DIY (Do It Yourself) repairs are quite common today. I was looking for information about radiator repair when I came across your article.
Our family car is having some problems with its auto body. Beverly Hills where we live, has a lot of professionals who can help in fixing such problems. We've already hired experts for auto repair, Beverly Hills-based, when we re-painted our car. So far, my brother and I will try the DIY steps first to make the radiator work. If it fails, professionals are always one call away.
Thanks for the helpful video!
