I did it myself 3-4 times, no straps, just by hand. I used a jack with a wide slab of wood underneath and studs in the bell to guide the trans out. Step one was to pull the trans back on the studs, step two was to disengage the trans fully and place it on a block of wood/towel on the floorboard, step three was to lift it out of the car. It was a bit of a pain but not that big of a deal. And I'm 5'-6" and 160 lbs.
