In this setup, you don't need to remove the output shaft of the gearbox at all; the center wheel shaft pulls right out after loosening a single shaft collar. It's coupled to the output shaft of the gearbox with a hex sleeve.
Another nice feature is that to pull the gearbox, one only needs to slide it about an inch in after removing the bolts, as opposed to the full length of a WCD-style output shaft.
