Spent an hour or so to disconnect all the off-side hub item needed to drop the sub-frame.
Having learned much when dealing with the task on the nearside, with all the various tools needed already to hand, I took only about one third of the time to complete the disconnection of all the various parts this time.
The attached pictures show what was needed. I took a break for refreshment intending a little later to suspend and then release the Steering Rack. I had already loosened four of the six main 15mm Sub-Frame securing bolts. Pleased those were not silly tight as so often happens.
I've got my pro-spec heavy lift Trolley Jack ready to support and lower the sub-frame. Once that is out of the way, I can separate the Gearbox from the Engine.
If anyone having been there done that has any pointers for me at this stage, be delighted to have your input. Here's four more images of the ongoing work in progress.
