Using a large screwdriver, pry the front driveshaft inner pivots out of the side gears and replace them with process plastic mandrels or old pivots to hold the side gears in place. Suspend the drive shafts to the body in such a way that the bending angle of the inner joint does not exceed 20°, and the outer joint does not exceed 45°. Unscrew the four bolts securing the gearbox to the bracket and one nut securing the bracket itself. Unscrew the three bolts securing the gearbox to the rear bracket and one bolt securing the bracket (for a five-speed gearbox, move the stabilizer bar on the left side to the side).
