I'm sure i read some catch to removing the shaft that i decided to avoid. Dunno what it was though

You need a second person to waggle the steering wheel and obviously you need the wheel not to move or you'll be a spline or so out when reconnected and it won't be straight. Other than that it makes getting to that back bolt a lot easier.

I'm in the middle of a top-end refresh, I was looking at the Roverparts gasket kit from Atlantic british.

I'm just about to tackle the exhaust manifold, mine look munted so not particularly excited to get started on that
I had an unexpected adversary in the form of a power steering pump bolt, it rounded off and I had to give it a good whack with a hammer and chisel to get it out, took about 3 hours

Good luck!

What a pita. Mine came out easily though I'm sure another bolt will get me lol. Glad you got it in the end

The bolts can seize in the aluminium brackets, steel bolt ali bracket bad combo.

The HG really aren't that hard to do..
There's a exhaust manifold bolt on the drivers side that's really hard on the rear cylinder.. made easier with a wobble joint on an extension to get round the steering gubbins.
Don't forget to undo the coil packs, they are in a bracket bolted on to the inlet manifold

I did this today. It was somewhat painful but I managed to get that bolt out with a series of extensions and wobble joints without removing the steering shaft.
The first bolt was a PITA as well actually.
