gavinvr6 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 fuckin sweet guys, im trying to find a hub nut/drive shaft socket at the moment so it's easier to take out the whole thing in one go.got doc's at 5.20 i think so should be ready to start by 6. just need the lump lifted out and put in the garage for now. but i need to undo some bits and bobs still as monday will be my first day on it for a couple of weeks and the last lot of work was swapping the brakes/rear beam and malarky.does someone have a long reach bar to get at the rear mounts. the only raeson i ask is the tosser who fitted my engine done everything up with air tools. i could get a small compressor if need be if anyone has the air tools.sorry to scavange but i only have a very basic tool kit of one set of spanners one socket set and a bunch of screwdrivers to do the entire swap with lol Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Paul and myself turned up this afternoon after work for a little bit of Team South assistance. With Paul supervising the way and showing me which end of a spanner to use the pair of use had the engine out in under an hour. Driveshafts, exhaust manifolds, engine mounts and all ancillaries. There is always one aswell so there was the usual rounded off driveshaft bolt and sheared manifold stud. All in a good hours work. Link to post Share on other sites
