not sure on how much it is the same, but shouldnt be too different, but when i had to pull my engine on my lightning, i had to do---

socket
universal
then like 3 feet of extensions to get the right angle to get it off

hope this helps

I haven't pulled an 04 and up but previous years I used pretty much the same combination as lifted07.
Universal joint and long extension. Them being pretty much in the firewall makes it tough.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
By the way welcome !
