It should only be a few bolts holding the motor to the transmission. You’d want to disconnect the wires from the motor as well to remove the motor from the vehicle. ---

The rear brakes have stuck on my e825 and it has been the parking brake lever rusted to the backing plate. After getting the drum off a little wd 40 and I was good to go. I hope this helps. Bob
