7 bolts hold the box to the engine inc the 10mm one holding the plate between box and engine + 3 starter motor ones. There are just 4 others bolting the crossmember to the chasis.

........ But you only need to remove the 4 that secure the box to the bellhousing to remove the box

Why do some people remove the 4 bolts to the bellhousing, leaving the bellhousing in there, surely its easier removing the bellhousing from the engine the normal way

Unless something else needs changing or inspecting then no need.

Wyn that is a shite way of doing it imo
If your going to have the box out its well worth removing it complete with bell housing and check the clutch etc....
