Default Torque tube removal??

Anybody have an idea how to get the torque tube out without dropping the rear suspension? I have the engine and trans out. I spent an hour under it trying every possible angle. The only way i can see is to drop the cross support where the trans mounts.

Any ideas?

Dropping the transmission x member (what the tranny mount bolts to) is the easy part.

I think you also need to drop the entire rear suspension (torsion bar setup) , but luckily this is only 6 bolts and the whole thing will fall if I remember. Dont forget to disconnect the brake lines.

I think the angles are too bad to do it any other way, but if I am wrong somebody correct me please.
