T-5 brace removal

[1984 CJ7]

So, I need to take off the plate that the T-5 sits on but i am worried I need to support the tranny to do so. Is that true? Can I simply remove it and clean up the mess I made and then bolt it back on?

I would support it

What I do is put a floor jack under the tail shaft to hold it when you take the skid plate off.

When I dropped the skid plate I braced both sides with jacks, dont think you need to brace both sides but I had an extra jack.

When you remove all the bolts, go easy, since rust and can build up on the threads and they can strip out.
