First, drop the torque shaft off the crankshaft per the manual to relieve pressure. I pull the cables off the trans & reinstall. May have to drop the pan to get the shift cable back in position, no big deal. I pull the tires & drums, then unbolt the axles & just pull them back away from the trans/diff assy. If using a trans jack, use a ratchet strap & bind it down tight to the jack. Make sure you drain all fluids first. Can get messy.
