you would have to remove the prop to do this and it serves no purpose, the bolts that you can't get to are the ones at the top of the cradle

Then you can remove the boot from the spherical pivot bearing casing, remove the axis that connect the lever to the shift rod! (to unscrew the nut you just unscrew it! No need to unbend the washer)
but the washer locks the nut in place
you can't unscrew the nut wit the washer in place because it locks into both the hole in the bottom and over the nut

Two of my m8s did it this way.
Or alternatively you wait the have to upgrade (or renew) your clutch to remove the box totally like I did
i can see that this will need pictures to explain, they will be up when i get home
