Gotta take the box out as the clutch has died a death, the motor is up on a column lift at the moment. I appreciate it's going to be heavy but is it possible for two people to lift it out, i have a transmission jack but frankly its pants. Any advice or weightlifters most appreciated.

it is very heavy!!!!

i take the transfer box off first then the gearbox, it takes a bit longer but if you havent got the proper lifting equipment to get it out in one lot, you will struggle, two people will be ok doing it this way, three would be better

Good tip from clutchdust not a lot of extra work to get the transfer box off seperately,a bit awkward but not too heavy. The main box itself is actually quite light. Piece of wee wee with two people, although i do have the benefit of a fully equipped HGV workshop. Clutch cattled but fortunately no damage to the flywheel. I guess is the company van for a few days.
