How does it drive with it fitted? Any odd noises?
Not tried it yet, forgot to say. I need to shorten a bolt with the grinder but it got a bit late to be using it, gonna do that in the morning and then try and do a vid while turning.
I re-wound my winch rope after servicing my winch, nice and toight now View attachment 11228
I bet them ramps are handy for doing jobs on the car :naughty
That's the steam cleaning ramp, just out of shot is a big generator and a steam clean/high pressure jet was machine, I give it PLENTY of use :lol:lol:lol
Haha, been wanting something similar for home. A set of those display ramps are tempting to do the clutch lol.
Your going to have fun putting the diff back in, what a job that was for me.
The front one is quite heavy. Doesn't need to come out to do the clutch though I don't think lol.
Depends if you are removing the box or the engine, if the engine then front diff has to go, Rick
I'll be pulling the box, don't fancy dropping the engine out if I can help it lol.
Best of luck, I have done it both ways and engine out is by far the easiest, Rick
big point is when putting it back together the danger of bending the center plate when aligning the box is very high as the box is very heavy and unbalanced, but up to you, I have done dozens but only ever pulled one box lesson learnt Rick
Engine is easier if you've access to a crane or engine lift, I don't have access to either unfortunately. Atleast dropping the box off I can work from the floor and use a transmission jack.
They are a heavy,unbalanced gearbox.
I strapped mine to the transmission jack so it couldn't slip off.
The hard bit it twisting the box slightly on removal so the bulge where the starter motor fits clears the transmission tunnel.
I layed some plywood boards down under the motor so everything was nice and smooth and flat:thumb2
I've not been up to much, I changed oil and filter on Monday then changed oil again today
I've bought a link/ relay bar for the steering, are the old ones known to be difficult to remove is it worth buying a splitter/puller of some sort or will a couple of whacks with the thumb detector do the trick?
Thanks, Doug xxxView attachment 11236
