Are you using some guide bolts? ( long bolts with the heads missing)?

If so just a tap or two with rubber mallet should fettle it - the bolts will support it

Problem i have is i carnt split it from the engine its solid

Ignore the bit about the bolts , it’s just a way of aligning the box on assembly and supports the weight a little on removal .

There is nothing holding it on apart from the bolts you’ve removed and years of use! So it’s got to be ‘gentle persuasion’

The dowel pegs are bottom corners if I recall , Thata what will be sticking

The locating dowels will be corroded holding the gearbox in place (you have removed the two 10mm nuts holding the battery/abs tray to the top of the gearbox and popped the tray off the studs, haven’t you ) .. I insert a pry bar into the gap where the starter motor fits and gently lever the two apart.

Thx steptoe yes ive removed the bolts from the battery box , the bike has been stood a hell of a long time , its running great but in 5th6th gear if u whack open the throttle cluthch is slipping , hence gearbox removal , took the slave off and its totally shited up with gunge and does stink quite a bit so not sure if its gear oil or what carnt see no oil via the starter hole so thats why im pulling the box its only done 29k

That's exactly the prob I had on my 1150RT during the original lockdown... The bottom dowel was corroded and it took a fair bit of persuasion to release... Prybar or two and a bit of heat and a fair bit of patience... Had it on K's too and you can't believe a small amount of corrosion can be such a PIA... bottom right dowel for me...
