Due to this being a hybrid it adds a little more difficulty to it. I assume this is 2WD as most of these vehicles were, so I am attaching the process below.

Here is a guide that will help with some good info. This is not going to be exactly matching your vehicle, but it does have good tips that will apply to all vehicles.

It appears they are having you remove the engine and transmission together so you will need to have a lift or a way of lowering the assembly together so that you can separate them.

Please see the info below and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
