Removing the fu**in Bell housing !

<< < (2/3) > >>

Thanks guys - on the 200tdi disco that iv got the box etc is actually mounted to the crossmember wheras on the V8 its not.
Im still thinkin that dropping the box slightly might be the way to go.

Im hoping someone will appear who is in the process also (but about 3 hours ahead !) might come along.

For a mechanical imbecile like myself this is a right headache !

I took out the engine mounts completely then dropped the front of the engine down, put together every extension I have and layed somewhere under the middle of the car with them, totall sod of a job.  For the top 2 I bent a 14mm combination spanner a little so I could get it in place on the bolts, then rested a piece of pipe on the open jaw end and hit the other end of the pipe with a hammer (LR special tool #1) from somewhere alongside the car.

hobbit:
If you can get a socket on it, loads of extensions and a couple of u/j's could be a way of doing it

muddyweb:
I always drop the gearbox... by far the easiest way to do it IMHO
