yes the bolt is on the shaft at the back you taking the engine out or replacing the linkage

13mm bolt attaching it to the shifter rod. Remove the pin attaching it to the gearbox selecter. Pull out pin in middle pivot. Then it should just slide out from under the metal hoop thing on the gearbox.

Engine out, But my mate things it'll be easier taking gbox of first, But im guessing if i just take that bolt off then i could drop the engine with box then split them when there out.

How do you get the middle pin out ?? it not just pulling out, Gear box selecter pin is facing the gbox so i cant get a hammer and punch in to knock it out.

a lot easyer and quicker that way area you using an engine hoist

Middle pin, just bend the tabs outward and it pulls out by hand.

Gearbox pin is held in with a clip on the other side of the pin. Twist the linkage to one side, unclip that with pliers/your fingers and that will be loose enough to pull out with your hands.
