Try doing one on a 4.0 XJ Cherokee then you really do lie underneath and cuddle the gearbox!

Then stand on the wheel to thread some string onto the plug from above, disconnect the plug and lower it gently to the floor.

Tie the new one onto the same piece of string after removing the old one from it, climb on the wheel again and pull it up, roughly into position, tie the string so it can't drop then go underneath, cuddle the gearbox (for your stability) and fit the new one.

Back on the wheel, plug the new in and remove the string.

By comparison, the Volvo is a lot easier!

Great write up as well Joe!
