Hi Toby,
I'm with Shane, just pull the lot out, its a lot easier to connect the gearbox to the engine, especially if those funny shaped bolts are still in place. Its also much easier to access the bolts on the splash plate behind the flywheel.
While the engine is out, always replace the chain, guide and tensioner and the camseal and clean the crankcase breather on the side of the motor. All good insurance...
Hope this helps,
Mark...
