Do they need to unscrew something before they remove it? I saw all 3 parts and I didn't understand it. I know they first remove engine compartment deck(cover) and than unscrew like 3 or 4 electrical and hydraulic cables that are connected to the tank, but how do they separate the engine from the the thing that connects it to the sprocket wheels?

Das ist sehr einfach und geschieht bevor der Bergepanzer kommt. Hydraulik und Elektrik sind Schnellkupplungen. Die Antriebe der Ketten werden mit jeweils 1 Schraube getrennt.

there is a screw in the centre of the sporket wheel that unscrew the final drive from the engine transmission pack (at the begin of the video u see the sporket wheel with a open hole in center normaly covered by a yellow dust cover there u unscrew the powerpack)... the engine is bolted to the chassie ... the screws could be reached under the tank, in the chassie stays also the brake system which is not in the engine/transmission pack

Simple like VW Beetle.

Far to slow. My personal besttime for a complete change was 10'20''.
