ANYONE GOT ANY SIMPLE ADVICE FOR GEARBOX REMOVAL

Motor out. Rear drums off - disconnect handbrake cables. Disconnect lower shock mounts. Disconnect three bolts at rear of spring plate and pull axle tubes out. Disconnect gear selector inside tunnel at the back. Undo two big bolts at end of chassis forks. Undo gearbox mount at front. Remove gearbox. Something like that.

Not too sure, but seem to remember this was done when I pulled mine out...:shock: (gearbox, that is :roll: )
