    Going to have a go at pulling it out underneath on the sub frame with the gearbox attached. Wish me luck.

    I pulled the motor once in my garage by myself and once at a shop with a lift. Both times from the top. No issues - motor only.

    Lift helped to drain fluid - take off wheel, axle, axle and diff disconnect, tranny bolts and the like. It is not that bad a job.
