Gearbox removal rear main replacement

Now, with all electrical work it says to remove the -ve cable from the battery.
I was taking the starter motor off which has a +ve feed on it, but I don't know my radio code, so didn't.

Any ideas of how to find this please let me know.
 
I took off the +ve cable from the starter motor and taped it up with electrical tape and put it out of the way.
Then I undid the two 13mm bolts that you can see easily.

Now, there's a nut at the back of the starter motor that isn't easy to get to, I assumed it was 13mm but it's not, I think it's a 15 from memory and it's a bit of a pig to get to, but can be reached with an extension from the back.
It's a bit blurred but you can see the bolt.

yes it is 15mm you need and extension and rachet just long enough to reach end of starter but not hit eng mount , i get it from underneath ,while your hands in that location remove crank sensor plug from bell housing and when on other side removing little 6mm bolt eng rear plate to box ,remove oil pressure switch plug too
 
Starter motor off and out the way you can see it easier but there a plug going to a sensor on the gearbox

Ha ha. Where were you when I asked how to take the gearbox out last month? Could have done with your knowledge then.
 
At the top of the engine at the back the slave cylinder pipe is clipped in by the rear crankshaft oil seal, I un clipped the nearside of the pipe.

Then I cable tied the slave cylinder out the way so it wouldn't damage the pipe or the slave cylinder

While here, undo the 8mm bolt through the back plate into the gearbox.
Same picture as the other one was too blurred.

From the underneath, looking from rear to front on the off side.
There are some plugs and the transfer box cable.
