    Gearbox removal support

    Almost ready to drop the box out. Car is up on ramps at the front and axle stands at the back, exhaust pipe out, cross braces out wiring disconnected, cables disconnected, etc. Just need to make a support to hold it and lower to the ground. What have others used when working at home? Any pic's? Getting a bit old to lie under cars and bench press gearbox anymore .

    I used this one: Floor Transmission Jack, 150kg (53095) | Draper Tools

    But wouldn´t recommend it to remove Autobox and Transferbox bolted together. The jack leaned to
    the side... Had to use a ratchet strap around gearbox at one side and a fence post at the other side
    to pull the gearbox back in the correct position... And used a regular car jack to support one side of
    the boxes and made it easier to manouver everything back in place.

    But to the end it worked!
