clutch.
intercooled GnT:
666: a trolly jack on that flat bit just in front of the rubber bush where the cross memeber goes..
and the other chap
all the spigot bearing that lined up.. just getting the splines on the clutch plate and input shaft.. it damn heavey box and i cant hold it up forever on my own.. got know one to help :'( and the fear of the bloody thing dropping on my [bollards] haha..
but 666: when it drys again (poored with snow again last night) will take the truck off the wheel ramps and try again because the bellhousing is high and cant seem to get arse end up without it pulling out of line..
666:
What dont help is the weight of the transfer case on the side, it totally unbalances the gearbox.
I found having a long tube inside the motor with a hand winch attached was far better than trying to mess around with trolly jacks. Using this method i can change the clutch in about 5 hours, although i have the advantage of not needing to jack the motor up as its allready high enough to work on.
The engine will need to lean back towards the bulkhead, i also found that while getting the input shaft into the clutch splines it helped if i rotated the output flange back and forth ;)
Good luck!

bench press the box in ;) it's a [!Expletive Deleted!], but it's not as heavy as it looks. Oh I'm a 10 stone puny guy and I've done it that way.
Knee on the transfer case, and hold behind the bell housing in your hands, and just ummpphh it into place.
intercooled GnT:
i must be abit simple then. i didnt think of that.. and i did that exact idea to put my new transferbox in my defender!!! (what a t**t)
