squaddie_fox:
got an engine hoist here...... :roll:

meader:
trust me its a harder job doing it led on your back oh and it fecking hurts wen the box,s falls on you so take the engine out mate .or if your not in any rush take the tranny box off and then the gearbox

stageonesimmo:
Got to agree - at work we never bother with the gearbox method (even with proper tansmission lifts etc) - just whip the front off and pull the engine - far easier and safer way to do it.

marky:
I was a novice at mechanics, until I bought my disco!
I managed to change the clutch in mine just as Boss described above, and didn't find it too bad of a job. Heavy work, but not that difficult. I followed Les Hensons 'how to' on LR4x4 and borrowed a big jack! The hardest bit was the bolt on top of the bellhousing, hard enough to get out, but even harder to put back in!
Have a go, its very satisfying when you get it all back together and take it for a run.

always done any 4x4 iv had by removeing the gearbox too much faff with engine fuel pipes, vac pipes, water pipes rad out inter cooler pipes. i just took props off, gearstick suround, gearbox xmember,speedo cable dropped the boxs useing a trolly jack with the box straped to it and slid it back out the way took 5 hours with brews and on my own nice to have help though just incase the box is a pig to get bk on.
