The grey is attached to a red gear box using I believe an adapter plate? What is the easiest way to remove the engine. Take the engine out with the gear box - ie take both out together as one peice? or undo the gear box bell housing from the engine (leave the gearbox in place) and just remove the Engine only? I 've read it easiest to take out the gear box and engine as one together. I am a novice and are about to attempt an engine removal what is the easiest way for someone learning thanks
