Separating engine and gearbox

Whilst they are still in the car.

Had a day stripping a car down on saturday, finished trying to get the box out and called it a dayt. Got all of the bolts undone, both gearbox mounts off but they box is only separated at the front, is there a trick to this or do I need to get a big crowbar in there?

Also, we still had the driveshafts connected, do these need to come out first (or at least the passengerside)?

There are 3 rear mount bolts, 1 linkage, 3 RH mount bolts, 2 engine/gearbox supports, and 3 holding the gearbox to the block, if you havent removed the shafts then i guess thats the reason if your still bolted in at the LH engine mount

Coolio - think the lack of crowbar/end of a long day was the downfall. Will take the shafts out and get prising!
