207 1.6 Hdi Clutch Change

[LittleOldSuzi]

I cannot get the gearbox off a 2007 1.6 HDi 110hp engine. I think I am missing a bolt but which one I can't figure.

I have taken out the joyous one behind the DPF filter. Moving down the front of the engine I next did the stud and bolt that comes in from the gearbox side. The next 2 bolts underneath come in from the engine side behind the exhaust flexi. On the top there is stud and bolt at 1 o'clock that also holds the wiring loom harness. At 11 o'clock there is an empty hole which I believe should be the last bolt but is missing? I lever the bottom and it separates but springs straight back shut. I have taken the 3 6mm allen bolts out of the starter and it is loose, it has gone back about an inch but I can't free it because it is stuck on something I can't see.

4 hours to get this far and patience spent today. Help help help. Thanks.....

Got it out and hopefully my mistake will help someone else.

If you take the time to wiggle the starter completely out you will see the last bolt tucked right underneath it. Good luck everyone....
