I have seen several posts where people recommend putting an engine crane through the driver's side to move the gearbox when doing a clutch change . Surely it'd be better to put it through the passenger side where the steering wheel won't be in the way ?
 

Line 4 suggests the passenger side.

Or a different approach.

Probably to prevent accidental movement of clutch area. Not forgetting the wife, will still be in passenger seat berating your driving🥴 since become deaf and gaga and not aware😂.

Possibly a way better answer. My guess having the lifting equipment entered into the driver's side stops any chance of accidents in being restricted space. While the passenger side allows you ensure visual control and physical access better.
 
I have always done it through the passenger side, don't think it makes much difference really as long as you have enough clearance eon things to get the crane int the correct position.
 
More space is the answer.
If you put the crane in the passenger side you now have a steering wheel to avoid with all you movements and spannering

When I used the passenger side it was more about space outside the vehicle than inside.
