Actually, you drop the whole rear cradle as a unit (wheels/diff/trans).
It's a project all right. You'll need a couple of jacks, as you
need to suspend the body, then drop the cradle, then prop up the
engine while you unbolt the torque tube, etc.
Be careful while lowering the cradle that you don't crash the back
of the motor into the firewall.
Look around, there are definitely people who have done writeups
on this...
