    Take the floor panels out and use an engine crane. Make sure you use 2 chains, one around the gearbox and the other around the transfer case to stop the whole lot trying to turn on you when you slide them back.

    Like this:







    You may as well do the clutch and clutch fork whilst you're at it.
