hi was going to split on vehicle to make life easier plus change seals etc
 
I did mine on a two poster, split tfer box off gearbox, biggest arse was some bracket on top of the flywheel/gearbox housing, car did have rear a/c which might have had something to do with it.

I done mine on the driveway without splitting the boxes. That Draper Jack is exactly what I used. I made a t shaped adapter that bolted to the box and put a trolly jack under the transfer box so its weight wouldn’t twist the entire assembly when I pulled the box back and out. It did work, but it was awkward and if had to do it again, I would consider splitting them. What I will say is, remember and unplug the Crank Sensor !!
 
I put an engine hoist through the gearstick hole, and a chain round the gearbox, then lowered out that way. I did split the transfer box as well. Not a simple job, is its sodding heavy, even split up.
