This is remarkably helpful. Good tip on taking the wheel off. The rest of what you outlined is my rough plan, but the visuals is super helpful. Especially for where those passenger side bolts from the transmission to the bell housing are. Thank you for your photos and advice.
I don't believe this is from an FJ60. Where's all the grease and dirt? Thanks for the image. My next plan is to support it from the transfer case and remove the brace. Once I have that off are the passenger side bolts on the transmission to bell housing more accessible?
I am trying to remove my transmission to do a clutch and bearing, rear main seal, and transfer case seal replacement. I followed the FSM and can't seem to get the support brace out. So then I thought I'd just take it out with the transmission but I can't seem to find a way to access the two...
