Yikes, that flex disc is about to fail!!  You may need to remove the exhaust to have enough room to work....
You can remove the support bracket for the transmission but put a jack/piece of wood/something to support the transmission when you do remove it.
The whole job is not too bad, the drive shaft front and rear sections MUST be put back together in the exact same spot or you might get vibration. If it is not already marked you will need to mark it with something to facilitate this.
