Some people like to move the lifting hoop to the next couple of studs
forward so when you're lifting, the assembly will be tilting gbox down and
easier to clear the car. Others don't like to risk the effects of unequal
loosening/tightening those nuts.

As far as "elbow room" is concerned, I prefer to lift the whole thing clear
of the car and then push the car back.

BTW, you forgot to list "remove hood (UK = bonnet)" in your existing list.

Special tools required: a couple of buddies and some beers to keep them
"on-side".
