undo the rear gearbox mount then let it droop down.. then get about 10 extensions and you will be able to reach them from underneath at the back

A universal joint straight after the 19mm socket helps too, best way I have found is for someone to put the socket on the bolt while you lay at the rear of the gearbox where the tailshaft should be and you can get a good swing at it from there.

When reinstalling watch for the metal clip that holds the heater pipe on the drivers side top bolt, it is easy to snag and jam

It is a bit hard to align with all the extensions you need so a guy up the front makes it easier, I leave the two 19mm bolts that go through near the dowels at half way around until last so it won't fall down.
