Easy m8.
Reliase the frontdiff bolts, hoses wires, take the left aksel out, take the lid off the spedo casing, and take the aksel out of the sump (you have to take out the lock-rings(i think is the name of them)
Take the frontdiff out, release the gearbox, take the clutch off and take the bottom end up and out.
you have to take the gearbox out before you pull the bottom end out of the bay.
It sounds like a lot, but will take about 4-5 hours if you are alone
