Diesel gear box removal

[Daveluck]

Both times I've dropped the Subframe. But now I have my engine hoist can I lift the gearbox up and out rather than dropping the subframe and lowering the box?

I can't remember what would get in the way of a lift up? I'm fairly certain I'd have to un hook the bonnet so it either lifts up straighter or remove it all together so I can get the crane in, but what about the engine compartment?

I know I could just strip it down and see but I'm not ready to start yet so I'm hoping someone can give me the answer so I'm prepared as to which way to go!

Cheers

Dave
