If you haven't done it before, first I'd pull the
trans in the Adventurewagen, because its simpler
without the locker. Then, even though it is a parts
van, I'd pull the locker trans in the conventional way
- without removing the engine- following the
instructions in the Bentley. That will give you the
opportunity go through the drill twice before doing
the installation on the the van that counts :).  The
more you pull htem, the better you get at putting them
back in.
