Sidelights stuck on and gearbox swaps

<< < (3/4) > >>

hobbit:
The v8 mountings are very forward on the block so it will need supporting on the rear of the sump (wish I had took some pics on Saturday now), ed can tell you about the tdi, not done one of them myself, have you tried one of these clutch centres to see what they want to change it themselves

Might not be too expensive, at least they will have some gear to do it with

did a crankshaft oil seal today on a 90 in just a shade under 6 hours & changed a gearbox on a 200tdi disco on fri/sat (3 n 3) now need to go n sleep cos im shattered

Wanderer:
And that's doing it with the right equipment and garage.

It's the weight that kills you.
I have thought about making a frame that would bolt to the gearbox/transfer box and allow easier removal and replacement.

The lifting point would have to be near the COG though and it's not where you'd expect it to be.

We were using a four poster :) What I'd give to own that place....

The guy who owns it is into classic rally cars. He's got a cracking Ford Cortina Mk 1 with the cake slice rear lights. Mini Cooper and a Triumph stag that he's doing at the moment (not that the Stag is a rally car :)  )

if you look in the gen landrover workshop overhaul manual im sure there is a digram for a plate that you can make that attaches to the underside of the boxes,AFAIK there is 2 drawings,one for an auto & one for the manuals

Wanderer:
I'll have a look Mikee Thanks.
