Hitch & Engine Removal Questions

[Yellow Bird]

Found this info in the "Introduction to the Maintenance Manual" Manual.

Lowering the rear module
On model 451, the rear wheel drive module can be
lowered.
This shortens removal/installation time for various
major assemblies such as the refrigerant compressor,
starter, alternator etc., because all the attached
parts on the engine and the engine itself can be
reached very quickly and with relatively little effort.
This shortens repair times and reduces costs while
improving customer satisfaction at the same time.

I really enjoy the humor in this manual.

Several questions come to mind though. Do you really have to remove the engine to do anything other than change the oil? Just how easy is this to do? Does installation of the U-haul/Curt hitch interfere with the the module removal?

If you think that is comedic, read ("forensically") the dénouement of the "Oil Service Plus" section.
