I just did mine Wednesday and my crossmember was snug in the frame. Rather than dealin with it being a pain to force back up I just took off the four bolts to the tranny mounts and jacked the tranny up some to get to the pan bolts above the member. For the work though, if you could get it done for $100 bucks that's a steal.

That is awesome advice, I will use it next time I change mine.
