Far as i can remember you need to remove the bolt out of the rear gearbox mounting, which you get at from underneath the car, then you can jack up the engine or else drop it down enough to remove the plate, think you jack it up not sure,

Loosen subframe bolts, you should be able to jiggle it then.

We used to take transfer box off but I think you can remove just the os driveshaft and exhaust and it will lift enough.
