Looks like the Snap-On one I have.

It's the most heavy duty I could find. I know it will work well.

I use a 3 foot Snap-On prybar.

I was refering to what his wife used to stab him to death with..... But that would work too.

I used the great information that's in the 1970 service manual to make the tool to do the job safely. A steel bar with a groove ground into it on one end, a wedge cut from a wooden 2x6, and a floor jack worked great! I added the cable hoist to make it easier to line up the bolts during the installation.
