Philippe,

Remove the roll pins first (after draining the gearbox of oil). remove the bolts from the engine and gearbox mounts (plus all the pipe work etc of course!), then gradually lift the engine/transmission. As you lift pull the engine to one side and the drive shaft will eventually be able to be removed from the opposite side of the gearbox.Once one side is free, pull the other way and remove the drive shaft from the other side. You don't need to do anything at the hub end of the drive shaft, despite what the workshop manual says.

Its not as difficult as it may appear. The difficult part is getting all the pipes back on when you put the engine back in again!

You can also remove the bolts for the upper links from the hub carrier, then pull the hub away from the transmission to give the driveshafts clearance. Much easier if you have two people.
