Got all the bolts off from below and the side mounts......few more on top...? Any special tricks to pull the box off...?

PS< There is a special place reserved in hell for the prick that decided where to put the three starter motor bolts on a grey motor!!!

if you don't want it to just slam on the ground stick a jack under it

the bolts they're not great but there's far worse

Assume the tailshaft is out and the box-end plugged (or drained onto the garage floor ). Helps (more than a bit) if the motor is free to tilt - drop the radiator top hose, open the bonnet and watch nothing hangs up as the box slides out.

Then wiggle wiggle (swear)... repeat.

Getting them out seems to be a crapload easier than getting it back in though Did more benchpressing than a Schwarzenegger workout.
