Default TPIS Happy Hooker

Just had a questions about TPIS happy hooker engine puller. Im about to pull my motor tomorrow. Just wanted to know if i need to leave the valley cover on the engine and attached the TPIS part? I pulled the valley cover of and tried the hooker but the bolts that were part of the kit were too tall. Also does it matter where i position the hooker? Right now i have it in the center of the motor. Any thoughts??

i used the valley cover bolts. and had the valley cover off. i put the happy hooker all the way to the front of the block so that the motor would tilt and clear the cowl. mine came right out. good luck
