I didnt worry about the engine crane, just unbolt it and catch it on your chest using your arms to slow its fall.
Its a little akward but not overly so, as yours is lifted you will be fine for room underneath.
just make sure you DONT pinch the seal when you put the box back or you will have to take it off again after a few hundred miles because of the leak :twisted:

drop it onto your chest?????are you pi**ed??.......anyone that tries this will most definately end up in A&E with broken ribs .... and yes you do need a crane or some thing similar....and no it doesnt take "a couple of hours"unless you have a team of trained fitters and you are in a fully equipped workshop......this thing must weigh about 75kg ........"catch it on your chest using your arms" :lol: :lol: :lol:it will rip your arms from the socket .......(what a set of total planks) :lol:me and billy badger did this and we dont mess about and it must have taken us 5 hours start to finish and we had a garage with a pit and a hydraulic crane!!!!.

im sorry, but what a load of rubbbish, are you a twig or something :roll: :roll:, im by no means a big build (ask clbarclay) but ive had a gearbox and transfer box out of 90 my in 2 hours on my own, as the clutch fork went, and i needed it the next day!!
people go over the top removing things when they dont need to.
ive never removed the trans tunnel ect ect
ive recently removed my old 200tdi set-up and done a td5 transplant, it took me 8 hours to get the old engine out, and new in, and all bolted down, gearbox ect ect
it was then running a few days later.
as for the input seal on the lt230, yes there a pain, but your supposed to put abit of rtv around it just incase ;)

Thanks dan, someone who agrees with me. When something needs to be done, just get on and do it.

It is no where 75Kg, dont be so bloody stupid, i didnt end up in A&E. Also, i have taken the gearbox out with a mate of mine and we didnt use a crane then, just used good old muscle power.
It only took me a couple of hours start to finish, if anyone doubts that it took my 2 hours then they should just get over it, some people work at faster rates than others and seeing as ive done it loads of times before i am damn good at doing it so it doesnt take ver long.

No they wernt broken afterwards, just a bit oily :twisted:

no worries matt, it just annoys me when people talk a load of c***
whats more dangerous is people attempting to fit both gearbox and transfer box together, that is a big no no. i always split the box's before doing any work or changing a clutch on something.
i agree on work rates, but also, some people spanner as a living ( even though i work on boats not landys ) so that speeds the proccess up as you no what you can get away with not taking off.
i find removing the hand brake assay makes a huge difference and is only 5 mins to remove and refit
dan
topless matt:
Yeah, makes it a lot less bulky without the handbrake off doesnt it.
I work on a farm so am always lumping big bits of metal around, taking engines apart, gearboxes off tractors t o i know what i can and cannot lift on my own.
Using tools for your living makes it so much faster as you tend to work a lot quicker.
