1. Remove the engine mounting, gearbox side.
2. Remove the bottom bolts securing the bellhousing to the engine block.
3. Remove the nuts securing the first section of the exhaust pipe to the manifold, to enable the power unit to be moved forwards and so facilitate withdrawal of the gearbox. If this is still not sufficient, disconnect the coolant inlet and outlet pipes from the heater.
4. Manoeuvre the hydraulic jack as appropriate to disengage the gearbox from its attachment studs and the surrounding components. Gradually lower the jack and withdraw the gearbox complete with drive shafts.
5. If the gearbox is to be overhauled, drain the oil by undoing the plug (arrowed) and disconnect the two drive shafts, removing the gaiter retaining clips.
