As you have already got the engine & box out, it's easiest to just remove the bell housing bolts and seperate the engine & box... as long as you don't loosen the 6 pressure plate bolts on the the clutch it will not get distrubed.
It is possible to get the sump off with the gearbox attached (usually when everything is still in the car.. |
