Eng Drop ?, enter the hellhole Options

[BatAc]

Must enter hellhole (rear suspension console shot, engine 'n' tranny want to go but she has a broken right rear leg {sittin' cockeyed} won't go. First time on engine drop. All stuff on top has been disconnected. I like the ATV jack concept. Question, those knuckle bustin' bolts down below what's the trick. On CV joint bolts I assume it's best to crack them 'fore I raise the car? Not much room to work with though. I have one of those 6 point (or how many there are) tools inside a box wrench. I've tapped with hammer (end of box wrench) to try to break, no dice. Would it be easier to remove the axles from the wheel side like in this photo instead of the traditional tranny side? Not that I'm real exicited to enter the hell hole but I would like to go 'gain.
