If you want to remove the gearbox after the head is off, you have to allow for the mast forward tilt. Deflate the rear oleo, pump up the front oleos and get as much nose up as you can. You then need to use a crane with the correct gearbox lifting tool, and with a couple of the biggest blokes you can find, lift the back of the box to clear the canopy.
