Default Cosworth worm drive (pic) removal??

Can anyone tell me how the worm drive comes out of the sump on a 4x4 Cosworth?

I have removed the 4 10mm bolts and can see a circlip on the inside.

I've bashed it a bit with a rubber mallett but it's not budging



Thanks

tap out the roll pin on the rear of the worm drive barrel, then pull it out by the thread

should only be finger tight
