That's the way I'd do a Disco or a Range Rover......

Ian,

Thanks for that. Myself and Mr Exact Fabrications are going to have a go at it.

I'm very short of time as it has be done by lunchtime Saturday so I guess we'll sliding the gearbox back.

I have got a crankshaft seal just in case (i can see a weep of oil from the wading plug hole).

It appears to be thrust bearings gone.

If Chris is helping, I'm suprised he hasn't made an all singing all dancing, very bling, gearbox frame to kift the box out with!!!   :wink:

You might stuggle for room doing the crank seal if the gear box is just being slid back (less space than doing it on a 200Tdi)... and the flywheel bolts are very tight!!! (and loctited!!)

When I got my box out the other day, it took me and brother 3 hours to have the box on the floor and the flywheel removed...  air tools (if my compressor was connected) would have made it quicker!!  

Just need to put it back together now, then I'm off to Exact again.

Ian,

Suspect you are right about seal. Got just in case we can do it.

One advantage of taking it to Chris (apart for the fact he's done a lot of clutches in his time) is that he has air tools and heavy duty trolleys and is indoors.

I would have do it on a slope covered in gravel.

I'm just lining up another trip to Chris to sort a cage. It's very handy as he is equal distance between work and home. I can be there in 5 mins.
