Nick Jones Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yes, but you need to drop the suspension cross-member. Whether you just drop it enough to wriggle the sump off/back on again or remove it entirely will depend on whether you need to do any work on the engine itself - if so, complete removal makes things so much easier!Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south sea pommie in aussie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Remove the x member .Only eight bolts and it will swing down enough.Taking it out only requires two more bolts in the lower control arms and leaves you with plenty of room.to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob dunn Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Is this post to do with thrust bearings . Is it just push and pull or is it mileage based. http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/ThrustWashers/TWLube4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
