Engine lift tool for manifold replacement.

Hello,

I am thinking about changing exhaust manifold on f150 2007..4.6, I think for to remove passenger side manifold you have to lift engine few inches.
I saw some videos where they have on big bar sitting on side walls of the hood area, and one big nut/bolt lift engine up when you circle the nut.

I don't know what it is called and who sells it.

Thank you

Bottle jack

When i did mine i used a jack from below with a piece of 2x6.
i don't think it helped much.
The front 2 bolts are near impossible to access either way.

Were you able to slide manifold out because you lift the engine.?
I guess 2x6 with jack is some what safe, as it wont break any part of the engine.

Not at this point. I am new to fixing things so do not want tools which seasoned professionals use.
when time comes I am going to try 2x6 + jack idea first.
But I will think about it where I could store it in the garage..
