Drop out the starter, drop out the rear tailshaft. drop the diff flange on the front shaft. undo wiring and hydraulic line. Remove gear sticks, remove bellhousing bolts and bring the g-box out with the front shaft and x-member still attached. Make sure you got a buddy to help you lift it too.

I would change the clutch too whilst im at it.
