Gearbox removal help

[Vasily]

Hi all, I'm changing a clutch on my 2000 1L micra and have been battling this gearbox for the past 40 minutes. I've drained the oil, both shafts out, starter out both mounts disconnected and took off what I think is all the bolts (2 on top, 1 front, 2 from support arms have snapped off and 3 from the rear mount). The thing wont budge. Been shaking it, rocking it, bumping it, nothing. Tried prying it from the bottom and using the cross member as a pivot but the cross member bends so much.
Any advice on prying points and did I take all the bolts off?
Cheers in advance and happy New Year!

there is a locating dowel front and rear, i usually had to resort to hammering a big screwdriver in and levering it off the dowels

Yay got it off, thanks for the advice Frank. Shoved a chisel as far as I could and kicked the box off!
