    lol, sorry
    . Make sure you get underneath at some point and give the prop retaining bolts a good clean and soaking with a decent penetrating fluid (along with the metal preotective shroud) not a good place to round off bolts

      the crane really does make the job much more manageable, especially putting it back in again as you can tilt the gearbox end down and then lower the whole lot a fraction as you jiggle it into position. And it will be much easier without the subframe. I remember getting the edge of the gearbox housing caught on the subframe when getting it all in again.
      good luck
