I used the normal bars & heads supplied with socket sets- cross member removed- gearbox mounting rubber removed and the propshaft moved to one side once off the G/box—marked with tippex for reinstatement & balance.
Lower the engine & box to its lowest point you can by watching the limited clearance on the bulkhead as the unit moves down—trolley jack under the rear of the box will allow this.
From under the car slide the socket with extensions towards the appropriate bolts- I found this a lot easier from the exhaust pipe side rather that the starter motor side, from memory I removed the exhaust downpipe support if you have one fitted but no need to disturb anything else.
It’s working blind at times but I’m sure you will manage it.
Regards Bob.
