You always run into problems the first time you do something and this is my daily driver so I can't afford to get stuck or screw something up.

Thanks for the write-up though, and the offer to do more.
I too was very intimidated by the C5. I had not worked on my own cars since the mid 70s when I was stripping down C1s and C2s. Through necessity both lack of funds and tired of work not being done right I started tackling these jobs.
Not having a lift is the most difficult but give me a large enough lever and I can move the world. Lifting the front of the car high enough off the sub-frame to slide the engine out will be my biggest challenge.
