MCSa Pulley Install

I'm trying to install a pulley on my 2006 MCSa. I can't seem to jack the motor up high enough to get a straight away shot at using the Cravenspeed pulley puller.

There is a bracket on the driver's side that seems to be rubbing up against the radiator fan as I try to jack it up.

The topside hose on the passenger side going to the radiator seems to be pretty close to getting pinched as well.

Any advice? I've tried pulling the driver's side motor mount bolts and supporting with a second jack under the transmission, but it didn't seem to help much. Should I be pushing the motor away from the front of the car? I'm concerned I won't be able to get it back onto the passenger side upper motor mount bolt if I do that.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
