Its not a big deal. The key is to have a good ratcheting strap to pull it forward once everything is loosened up. Its kind of cool...the motor really doesn't move all that much (maybe 6 inches) but its just enough to let you get to what you're working on. I never would have gotten the alternator out of the Venture any other way without moving the motor as it was kind of like a puzzle even with the motor rotated forward. You had to drop it and turn it just right to get it squeeze through the small spot you had to work with.
