But there a pain where it goes through on the engine mount. there's two bolts 11mm bolts there to remove and they really are a pain. Could be a bit stiff to remove as well. I know with mine I had the box off alltogether and the only way I got it out was to wack the end of the shaft with a decent hammer.

would need to support the gearbox doing that surely?
