Greeks Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 A couple of hours... well it would do if I did it again, but I had to fabricate some additional wrists and spent longer pratting around working out how to lower the x-member (and more importantly the steering) the right distance.You don't need to do everything it suggests in the manuals - four bolts (either side) for the x-member, pinch bolt on the steering column, two bolts either side for the x-member to pas steering rack as that's what really gets in the way. The whole thing really only drops an inch or two to get the sump out, but I also had to remove one bolt from the bellhousing as the head was just catching the sump. Getting to some of the sump bolts is a pain too. I used the full range of open-head, ring, sockets, extensions to get to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Exactly... that's what my father-in-law did with the spare and I'll do it now on this one to keep for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
