Here is another time saver if you are willing to cut a hole in the forward floorboard plastic. I will make a patch after the installation and have a permanent access hole in the event I need to remove the drive shaft to replace a u-joint they tend to fail about 2,000 miles or so. Now you have three options use a crowbar as in the first video, remove the floorboard or put in a permanent access hole. Caution go slow and only cut through the bottom rear half to leave a "flap" you will also avoid making contact with the drive shaft loop. Just go slow. I will send a picture of how I close up the hole after the installation is completed and everything is working. I estimate if you decide to make the access hole you will save about 30 minutes.
So, If you use the above two videos and the access hole you should be able to start removing the sub transmission in about two hours. I put that much time in removing items from the engine that I did not need to touch.
Below is a picture of the access hole I made:
You can see the flap at the top right of the hole. This makes removing the 12mm bolt a breeze. Want to make it even easier, spray bolt with penetrating oil brake it free and use 3/8 inch impact.
Next step is removing the drive shaft.
