With airtools, id be very surprised if you could do it with hand tools.
Plus a ramp would help .

ur better off when changing the gearbox to,
1.Jack whole front end up
2. Take wheels off
3. Unbolt anti roll bar from front end
4. Unbolt the lower arms from body
5. Take brake calipers off
6. Hold disk and pull the drive shafts out ( pull with abit of force) like a tugging action lol
7. then undo the strut top mounts and drop both running gear set ups off both sides.
This will make life so much easier for you instead of trying to work round things
the rest is just removing the mounts from the body, disconnecting the linkage, diconnest the speedo drive unplug reverse sensor, unbolt earth strap, unbolt the bell housing and bam

no need to take anything off the suspension just take the bottom ball joint off and pull the shafts out. gearbox mounts off. support the engine with a jack. undo the 13mm on the linkage and undo the bolts holding it to the engine.
