Gearbox removal

[eddypeck]

Plans for this weekend, remove the gearbox from the 316 I'm breaking.

Prop is already off and the car is on blocks about a foot or so off the ground.

Anything I need to bear in mind, or hints and tips for an easier life?

thanks in advance.

This guide outlines pretty well how to go about the job:

If you have a crane or block and tackle, i would lower the whole front subframe with engine still attached onto the deck, taking the front struts off would help also.
