Taking a scissors jack, I put a thin wood board across the top, tied in place with zip-ties. I was able to get the pan low enough to slip the jack out, grab the pan and not make a big mess. Even so, I had a large pan filled with cat litter under the jack just to make sure.
Hi Vern,
That sounds like a super idea ! I Don't plan on dropping the pan anytime soon, but that looks like it would work out well !

Thanks Scotty
