I usually undo the exhaust to allow the motor to tilt down more.
Also once you get the box off the engine dowls, twist the box so the starter motor hump on gear box is facing up.
comes out heaps easier

wat do you use to take out the bolts, to speerate the box from the engine?
a ring spanner or a socket set because i cant get the 2 bolts off at the top of the box.
