I just pulled mine, i left the h-pipe in, but that made it harder.
Make sure you have some good 1/2 in drive sockets and extensions, not to bad, maybe put a jack under the t-5 and when you pull the last 15mm, you can lower it down. |

you guys all forgot to tell him about the starter and the excellent top bolt on it. the top bolt comes out easiest with a 2' extension, sometimes with a swivel it gets chewed, the bolt is shouldered, so the socket jumps off easy when using a swivel. definitely use a jack to hold the trans before letting the last bolt go. its not a very heavy trans, except when you're lying on your back with your arms fully extended.one more thing , disconnect the clutch cable.
