    More cables, from the front looking back.

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

    Various plugs. This one is visible from the top next to the gear selector.

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

    In the same area, unclip the plug and move this cable up the top and out the way

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

    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.

    Ha ha. Where were you when I asked how to take the gearbox out last month? Could have done with your knowledge then.

    Starter motor off and out the way you can see it easier but there a plug going to a sensor on the gearbox

    You are aware that this is not a running commentary. I've done all the work.

    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.

    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, 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.

    With this off the handbrake shoes and cable could all come off easily to save them getting damaged

    I thought it best to take the hand brake cable off the handbrake completely. So sprayed the rubber on the handbrake cable and poked it through from the top. Then I took the handbrake off completely.

    The book says to leave it hanging to the side. I didn't think this was a good idea.
