It is literally a 2 minute job to remove the Tailshaft Housing if you have some assistance/a friend helping.
I just tore down 2 904s last month, an MA904 (4-Cylinder 4x4 904) and a TF904 (Small Block RWD 904) and converted the SB 904 over to a 4x4 (swapped the internals and tailshaft over to the small block case)
Took me a couple minutes to spin the bolts out of the housing and spread the snap ring while my dad slid it off the back of the transmission. Takes a little longer if you're doing it solo, because that snap ring is a pain in the butt to keep open while trying to wiggle that housing loose
EDIT :
Yes they looked rough, but were both immaculate inside (hard to believe, isn't it?)
By the way, who all knew that the 904 Non-Lockup was used behind the Mitsubishi 4-Cylinder engines in the 1979 - 1993 Dodge D50 trucks? Yes that thing with the tiny bellhousing and the funky transfer case is a 904. And it had heavier internals than the Small Block 904 (from a '72 Dart)
I combined the two and used the weird hybrid to stick a '69 273 in my '84 D50
