At 6:29 you show you disconnected the fuel lines. For the life of me, I can not get those disconnected. Did you just use 2 wrenches to loosen that? Mine looks exactly like that but that's not one of those quick connections is it? I have one like your bottom line and another with just a squeeze clamp but they both are on there really well and not budging.
Yes, with the age of these things they can be quite the challenge. Spraying the threaded connections with penetrating oil for a few days helps. We just used two wrenches to undo the high pressure line, a flare wrench is a good idea since it has some additional points of contact. For the rubber hose, after removing the squeeze clamp, you'll want to grab the hose and rotate it to break the seal loose before trying to pull it off. I hope that helps.
Off the top of my head - 1. disconnect rear drive shaft 2. lower shock bolts 3. panhard bar at chassis 4. parking brake cables from chassis bracket 5. breather hose on top of axle 6. trailing arm front nuts 7. lower axle and remove springs as you pull the axle out.
Yes, through the access panel in the floor of the cargo area. Be super careful when trying to undo the nuts on the top of the tank and also the high pressure hose. The high pressure hose swivels on the body side so you have to remove that side first. Soak everything in penetrating oil for a few days as they're usually all rusted on tight. If you end up ruining the hose, we'll have new ones, with swivels at both ends to make install/removal easier, in a couple weeks.

Mi 2001 Montero Full Size runs pretty nice!
nice finding!
The tin-like "u-joint/driveshaft protector" knocks right off with a rubber hammer. Then easy seal access.

@@luso_overland that does help. Thank you
What’s the steps to take the axle out?

@@luso_overland awesome thanks!
Can you access the fuel pump without removing the whole tank?
Yes, through the access panel in the floor of the cargo area. Be super careful when trying to undo the nuts on the top of the tank and also the high pressure hose. The high pressure hose swivels on the body side so you have to remove that side first. Soak everything in penetrating oil for a few days as they're usually all rusted on tight.
