Make sure the clutch plate hub is aligned dead centre to the crank.

Then just plonk the box on, you will need line up the input shaft with the clutch plate hub, it might need "wiggling" get it on,Lol.

Might be worth checking clutch condition whilst you have access to it.

I think there are 5 or 6 19mm bolts that hold it on and thats it very easy job.
Or just check in the haynes bibble first lol.
