You should be able to unbolt the torque tube cover from the tranny, slide it back, undo the universal joint, slide the yoke back into the tube far enough so you can then drop the end of the torque tube down to the ground. Then you can pull the tranny.

Sometimes the yoke cannot be slid back enough because the motor/tranny has shifted on the mounts or an Oakie bushing has been installed in the torque tube. Then you may need to undo the ubolts and slide the rear end back a notch.

Good luck!
