Motor out.
Rear drums off - disconnect handbrake cables.
Disconnect lower shock mounts.
Disconnect three bolts at rear of spring plate and pull axle tubes out.
Disconnect gear selector inside tunnel at the back.
Undo two big bolts at end of chassis forks.
Undo gearbox mount at front.
Remove gearbox.

Something like that.

Do you have to mark the position of the spring plate and axle tubes to make sure they line up when putting the gearbox back ? Not too sure, but seem to remember this was done when I pulled mine out...:shock: (gearbox, that is :roll: )
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

Yep, that's how you adjust the toe-in on the rear wheels.
