LT230 drop down

Hi
I have read lots of threads but it remains unclear if I should remove the input gear from the transfer case prior to dropping it from LT77. All linkages are disconnected with just the bolts to the gearbox left to remove. I did read the gear should be removed from the back of the case by removing the round plate but other guides do not mention this step. Separation is happening with units on vehicle.
Thanks in advance. 1988 Defender 110

Keep an eye out for the dowels and remember it's about 20 times heavier than it looks
