Abstract: An apparatus and method for moving heavy machinery in a confined space, particularly suited for installing or removing engine oil pumps from production equipment. The apparatus is formed from a bracket to be attached to the equipment to be moved; this bracket is pivotally attached to a first arm, which controls pivoting of the bracket face and pivotally attached to a second arm, which furnishes support. The arms are connected to each other such that the first arm and the second arm may pivot in parallel planes. The apparatus includes a frame for attaching the second arm to a support. Where the frame has the shape of an upside down "L" the support may overlie the workpiece.
