LDV Cub (Nissan Vanette Cargo) 2.3D - Engine change advice - stuartl

I am going to change the engine on my van, I have changed engines several times but wondered if anyone had tips for this one. I changed one in a Bedford Midi years ago and got it out through the drivers door. I know the easiest way is to release it then raise the van on a lift but I dont have a lift!

Is it possible to get this engine out from above?

Many Thanks, Stuart
