As always, amazed at your strength, Kev - I used be able heft these 'boxes around, I can't these days - not a hope.Too old. I also get a lot of heavy-duty stuff to do - 4*4's & sprinter/vito vans etc - no way am I lifting those boxes using the body - ain't happening. Landcruiser springs to mind - that 'box is insanely heavy. I also work off axle stands like you. What I did to get past that was to modify a real heavy duty trolley jack - I kept it very simple, just welded a piece of 8mm flat plate to it - plate is 40cm long by 15cm wide. I use bits of timber to get whatever funky profile the gearbox has to sit on the plate & a ratchet strap to clamp the 'box to it. It was a jack I always hated because it's so heavy - now I love it. Using the jack, I can lower & lift any gearbox I want - even lorry 'boxes. Plus because I welded the plate on so it sticks out all the way off the lifting cup, I can turn the 'box any way I like for replacing release bearings etc etc. It makes what was a nightmare pretty easy. I'll post a vid of it on my crappy little channel tomorrow - have a look. You don't need one now, but in a bit when the body gets less robust, you might. It takes the sheer physical grunt of lowering/lifting out of the equation without costing much. I priced dedicated low-height transmission jacks & they are either crap or silly money - my versions nice to work with. I used laugh at transmission jacks - wasn't a box going I couldn't lift - but as time marches on, that ability fades.

You could talk us through what you are doing from now on....or, as my preference would be, use a topless model to talk us through the process.
