Requires a lift, but that's not worse than the C6-C7 and there's no torque tube to contend with. In the end it's probably more serviceable than less.

Wait, you don’t just unbolt the cradle and driveshafts and lower it and clip off anything else keeping it from falling free? I guess I need to rethink my plan.
