Not really.
It should have some clips that fix it to the top of the box.
They stop you

Cheers Matt, did you remove the gearbox? or is there a bracket you can lowerto allow the gearbox to drop and give you enough room to get the clips in etc...

Just undo the gearbox surport + take off the heat shields.
The box should drop a bit.
Then try, keep removing more parts until you can actually remove it, remembering you have to refit it again one day.
Don't forget the VSS & rear exhaust sensor connectors
