Easily done from underneath mate. But would be even easier if on a ramp rather then doing it on the ground |

As long as the car is high enough to slide the gearbox out you'll be reet. Making a cradle for your jack makes life easier. |

Not advised! Driving the front wheels up some ramps should be plenty then lift the back up on the diff to get the axle stands underneath. |
