There isn't much more to disconnect.... wiring harness, heater core hoses, PS hoses, etc....

This would be a great time to replace the turbos if needed.

I pulled my motor on my own if you'd like a hand. It was a lot of fun and and you will learn a lot about this drivetrain/motor.

I would temper that with the fact that R&Ring just the tranny is much quicker (but still a PITA)

You MUST get some triple square bits to remove the axles.

I followed someones write up on here on how to remove the transexual mounts. From there I winged most of it except for finding out a few torquing numbers.

I never did anything like this before in my life. The biggest job I did before that is um... tie rod ends and rebuilt a caliper.

You'll want to get 5 or 6 socket extensions(seriously) and 2 or 3 socket elbows(yeah, seriously) to remove the top bolts holding the transexual to the engine. It will save you some time. You'll also probably break an elbow or two

Of the entire job, the top 4 or 5 bolts took longer that anything else.

If I did the job again I could do it in about 5 hours.

Patience.
