on the passenger side of the gearbox near the starter there is a round plug with a hallen key hole, remove this and then thread a 6mm bolt into the hole and pull the fork pivot out and it will separate the engine from the box

After you have removed said Allen key bolt (10mm iirc, usually pretty tight too), you need a threaded bar to screw into the arm in order to pull out. For best results, use the battery clamp rod
Then you have to pull engine away from gearbox before lifting too much as you have studs in the bottom and dowells in the sides
