Splitting the powerpack into gearbox and engine chunks is very simple, just make sure you block the engine firmly and have the gearbox supported, we use an engine crane. The blocking of the engine on a pallet makes it moveable in the shop and also gets height that allows the engine crane wheels under the gearbox.
Be careful to take the weight on the gearbox before you undo all the nuts and stress the aluminium flange, one could do damage if you do not watch that I think.
Having the engine crane taking the weight makes sliding the gearbox back off the shaft easy. There is some grunting and pry bars needed but no undue force.
Now we have the offending item exposed.
