That's the preferred method since your doing the work cab on. I've heard of guys pulling the left/driver's side engine mount and allow the engine to rotate a little. Not sure if you've tried that yet.

Pulling the hvac box is the only way to go if Doug cab IMHO. Pretty simple remove the inner wheel well, then there is 6 nuts on the inside of the cab (behind the glove box) that's hold the box on. It may take you a min to find them all but they are there.

On my excursion i removed the transmission & engine mounting bolts & twisted the engine enough to remove the back bolts & install the studs.

I don't think so, now your a lot safer for some custom tuning!
