Who said a body lift is easy !!!!

(1/2) > >>

wizard:
I started this afternoon, and will carry on tomorrow.One side is finished, but what a boody job !!!

Evey bolt was either rusted solid, or siezed in the rubber body mount.
Clutch pipe snapped as i unbolted it to move it out of the way, and all this in the rain !!!
I have seen posts where people claim to do this in a few hours !!!!!!!

Don't forget to get lots of pic's & a full run down on how it's done, I will be doing mine soon (with the spacers from your very good self)

Keep up the good work  :wink:

chris9119:
Following ample lubrication of the 10 body mount bolts and with the aid of a ramp, choked the body and lowered the wheels......, took just over three hours, with a further 3 hours to do the mods (rad, fuel filler, etc, etc)

sorry to hear that mate ..looks like ya just got a bad un,with all the bolts siezed or tight ...i soaked mine rigourously in wd for 3 weeks before doing mine ,and fortunately everything came undone just fine ...only took me an afternoon  :D

wizard:
I gave everything a good squirting with plus gas weeks ago, it didnt help much.

At least when its done i'll know every thing is spanking new.
I have made up spacers for the rad, and extention bits for the transfer box & gear leaver.

I just need to sort something with the bumpers, I'll crack on today and hopefully get it finished.

Regards
wizard :twisted:
