once the engines out, I'd roll it onto the roof as it makes getting the running gear off a lot easier, four people can roll a car that size.
Almost all the nuts are 10mm 13mm & 17mm.

As mentioned many times, its a good idea to loosen the rear hub nuts when it's still on it's wheels - you'll need a 41mm socket,
long extension tube and someone generously proportioned to jump on it!

tbh I just bought some new nuts, think they were £5 each and cut the old ones off. Wasn't happy to use nylock hub nuts twice.
oh yeah the passenger side ones left handed mind

is there any way of telling if these bearings will need changing other than i guess, rumbling from the back end?
81k is still pretty young, but it was made in 89
