That is the only way you are going to remove the powerpack, you would be really when you see that to reach the bell bolts you need to morph into 8 jointed arms and fingers

raise the car - stick some jackstands under it - total clearance about 2 feet is good I think - you can then tilt and lift the powerpack out of the vehicle.
