crossmember first or driveshafts?

[Bluebirdsurfer]

right then guys, i'm going to be dropping my sump tomorrow (no jokes please).. When dropping the front diff to make room, is it better to unbolt the diff crossmember first or do i unbolt the driveshafts first. Bear in mind that I will be doing this why'll surfy is on axle stands. It looks to me as tho it will be easier to get to driveshaft bolts with the crossmember out of the way. can someone please verify this. as i don't fancy a diff dropping on my swede.. cheers all.

When I swapped my front diff I didn't have to remove anything else to do it. No problems accessing any of the bolts.
