Progress so far, the box is out
How much swearing wasd there........................ loads
Its been 32 years since I was a mucanic, forgot how much spanner rash hurts
Having studied our folks photo's about g/box removal, I've definetly taken some shorts cuts, tank still attached, took arse end off complete with cans, down pipe and Y pipe. Thanks good for the dremel I bought 3 years ago and have never used it until today, gone through a few cutting discs chopping them bloody bolts that I used to fit the Y pipe ages ago, christ there a pain. Also took the back frame off with the complete arm and diff attached, prop shaft popped off the back of the box very nicely, which was a relief haven heaard about other folks trials and tribulations with that little circlip.
The clutch plate looked in really good nick to say that its done 61+k miles. I do have some piccies which I will post up later, only bobbed in to get the torque settings for the clutch assembly then I am gonhna leave the rest till tomorrow.
Nearly forgot, the old box is defintly fugged, theres more slack in the input shaft than Joan Collins, reckon the main bearing failed, the oil seal also also manged to work its way nearly out of its housing[/img]
