i can't move the sofa out of the way to get the whole box out but you can see what i mean (i can't move the XR out of the way to get the trailer out of the way to get to the 24V lump out of the way to get the gearbox outside either and for the life of me i can't rememerb wehre i've put that little shaft that goes from the bottom of the selector to the gearbox so you'll have to bear with me)

but

the little knob at the bottom is what you need to disconnect from the rest of the selector shaft that goes into the gearbox, and while i can see that the other way would possily work, i think it's much easier to do it my way

you can see the bolts that i have removed from the front and there are 2 on the side (one either side) to pop out and then you can just pop a pin and out it comes

daylight and some bodies to shift stuff about will yeild more pictures unles someone else can come up with the goods?
