Sabb H Advice

[Anthonyexmouth]

Hi, does anyone here know the correct procedure for removing a gearbox from a Sabb H Series engine? I've undone the obvious 5 bolts and the gearbox moves a little but won't slide back. I have the manuals but unless I'm missing something I can't find anything about removing the gearbox.

Don't wanna try and put any force behind it until i know if it's just those 5 bolts that are holding it on.

Propeller shaft stopping it?

No, no shaft connected and nothing blocking it.

Should be a male splined shaft on gearbox going into female splined spider or drive plate. Sometimes if the shaft is fitted without grease they may seize together or if the gearbox has dropped a little the 2 splines may have just gripped each other, lifting the gearbox a little may be it all it needs to free them.

Think I got the answer now, Apparently there are 2 bolts in the clutch mech that need to be taken out for it to slide back. I'll be back if that doesn't work. lol
