The gearbox can stay in place but you will have to remove the rad and the cross member under it.

I suggest you put a packing piece between the gearbox and cradle to support the weight of the box before undoing the 4 fixings between the cross member and gearbox lid. If you don’t fill the gap completely so the box can drop a couple of mm, when you replace the fixings afterwards, there is no danger of trapping the packing piece.

Once you have undone those 4 central fixings, remove the four long bolts attaching the cross member to the jamboneaux.  You will then probably have to “persuade” the cross piece a little to actually remove it.

You will then have access to the “Eeifel Tower” which needs to be removed before taking the lid off the box.
