Cant get oil cooler out..help!

[Skiprdog]

Well it got cold here in AZ a couple of weeks ago and the front of my truck started to look like an oil well at start up, so I decided to tackle the removal/rebuild of leaky oil cooler. The truck is a 1989 Ford F350, DRW, 7.3L IDI

Did the research, looked in my shop manual, drained the fluids, got both ends of the cooler loose, removed the two bolts that connect the bracket that bolts onto the drivers side of the block, to the insulator that bolts to the cross-member. Put a jack under it with a 2x4 between the jack and oil pan lip on that side, and instead of just jacking up the left side of the motor, it jacked up the whole truck, the two halves of the motor mount did not separate at all. What am I missing here? I have never done this before, but have hit the wall with it, and now that oil cooler just dangles there, mocking me, and dripping the occasional drop of whatever in my eye. Help!!:mad2:

Get a pair of clear safety goggles and wear them under the truck. It keeps most of the stuff out of your eyes.

I was going for some levity there (so I do not start screaming) and meant to say stuff dripping on my head; I wouldn't dream of trying something like this without the safety glasses. I have unbolted the upper bracket from the isolator and the isolator from the cross-member and cant get the engine up even a fraction of an inch, and for the life of me I cannot see why that is so
