On my ‘52, the torque tube didn’t allow me to remove the tranny. I needed to jack up the rear and support it with jack stands from the frame so the suspension was all the way down with the wheels hanging, then jack the front of the tube up until it touched the floor before I had enough room to remove the tranny.
