There is a cover plate on the gearbox end of the sump, remove this and there will be some more hidden bolts.
Don't hit the sump with anything until you are sure all the bolts are out.

yeah take off the cover as stated think it is either 11mm or 13mm nuts then, you need a flexi extension ideally, be careful not to round them off!  :smiley:

it was 11mm bolts on all the covers I've removed...

I used a 1/4" socket and a 3/8" with wobble bars to get in there.

once all the bolts are out it may need prying off as they have a habbit of becoming one with the block.
