Removing gearbox 1x2 - location of studs and nuts

Trying to separate the gearbox from the block. I've removed all of the bolts I think, but struggling to find the extra 2x nuts that need undoing. Where are they, please?

I think I've got two of the three as I've got the seven from the bellhousing plus two others out. Can't see a thing inside the engine bay.

From memory, there's the 4 bolts that go in the bottom of the gearbox, 3 long bolts that go in the top, and two studs with nuts. One stud is on the left side of the gearbox halfway down, and the other runs into the back of the gearbox next to the starter.

I think this is all the bolts here (ignore the misc bolts on the right side of the tray):

You can see the left stud with nut in this picture here, beneath the clutch fork:

Can't find a picture of the stud going into the gearbox on the starter side sadly.

Its when you take the engine out one day... and it only take an hour and a half and you think back to removing the gearbox and just think 'why didn't I just remove the engine'.

HTH
Yep, I had to remove my gearbox when I bought my 182 a few months back, and it took a week thanks to the rain halting progress! Now I have to remove it again because I've got an awful judder and need to get to the bottom of it (flywheel was skimmed, no more deck on it and the clutch kit was reconditioned). I wish I had the funds to rebuild the engine now, because removing the engine/box together would be perfect and it does smoke a bit with the 5W40 I've put in.
