Doing a clutch swap and im taking off the gearbox at the moment, theres a bolt at the back at the top of the gear box on the driver side, below the dizzy..
How do i get this one out? What tools should i use.. ive already tried a few things, but the bolt seems to be pretty tight! And I dont want to round the bolt off!!
It really starting to p*ss me off because its the last bolt left!

ratchet with about 4" extension. or maybe just a ring spanner cant really remember. climb into the engine bay from the passenger side and get in there real nice n deep like.

A ring spanner on the bolt and another ring spanner for leverage always works. Spray it with inox or the like and Give it the berries.

Have you removed all the other bolts fully out of the gearbox, the last bolt might have all the weight on it.

yep this can happen, i always undo the hard to get at bolts first for this very reason. but sometimes when one bolt is hard taking off the rest can allow some movement enough to get it undone, but on a box no chance
