40 HP Force 1995 2 stroke power block removal

I've decided to replace the power block from my outboard 40 HP Force 1995 serial OE120622. It's the first time doing this mechanical work now that I've stored my boat for the winter. I'm now going to rent a lift to take off power block but having trouble finding information where to hook the lift onto the power block to take it off.

Can anyone provide me with some ideas where or how to connect the lift on the power block.?

I've unhooked the gear and throttle cables, fuel lines, etcetera, etcetera, and six (6) bolts underneath the cowling are off. I bought the two (2) new seals that go underneath; Lower seal #27-826738 and Upper seal #27-8268711. I took lots of photos of all electrical connections and think I have all the correct tools. Any ideas or feedback much appreciated.
 
Most use the flywheel removal tool.
It has a loop that's used with the lift.
If you have a Mercury style flywheel you can
get/use this tool.
Ebay "Mercury flywheel removal tool"
About 20$

It doesn't weigh that much, I just break them
loose and lift them up.

Thank you Jerry Jerry,
I was out of town for a couple weeks and getting back working on boat motor.
I'm able to lift the block from the back end about 1/2 inch and disconnected all I can see that would hold it down.
I took the six bolts from the bottom off. Is there more bolts in the front that I am missing.?
I did disconnect the throttle and gear cables.
