Pulling Engine

I was wondering if anybody on here has any experience with pulling engines out of Expeditions. I've got a '97 Expy (5.4) with 185k on the clock that has a couple of broken exhaust manifold bolts. The access to these are damn near impossible from the wheel wells and I was thinking about pulling the engine to replace them and do a teardown as long as it's out. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

FWIW, I believe Ford techs lift the body off the chasis when they need access to the entire engine compartment.

Body off is easier (if you have the right equipment) than engine out.
