Hello,
I have answered my own question, unfortunately I couldn’t wait for a reply so made the attempt yesterday. Access to all of the bolts holding the sump in position were very accessible, the problem came when lowering the sump and trying to slide it forward slightly before dropping it down, the rear of the sump has a slight lip on the top edge just to the rear of the rubber semicircular gasket. This lip catches on the top edge of the cover plate to the front of the bell housing by about 1/16th of an inch. Rather than force it off I removed the bolts hold the cover plate in position but NOT the bolts to the starter motor, This allowed just enough wriggle room to lower the sump. Just awaiting delivery of new timing chain and gear before putting everything back together.
