The cab tunnel might have a removable panel (some TKs did have) which might allow you better access without removing the cab.

Alternatively, access from an inspection pit (assuming you can move the vehicle!) might be possible. My memory is vague (more than 30 years since I was last 'under' a TK).

The major drawback when removing the cab is whether the mounting bolts (which are through-bolts with nuts - ie they don't screw into the mountings) are seized (despite being copper-plated).

If you do decide to remove the cab I can provide details of what needs to be disconnected. The major thing is that to lift the cab you must use a beam through the door apertures (not the window apertures), otherwise the cab will distort.
