Yes Please, -- Always good to have photo essays of peoples work, better than Haynes manuals in some respects. Look forward to seeing them. Quote
Guest stephendrak01 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 just went to remove the driveshafts, only to find out that the 32mm socket (recomended by halfords) is the wrong size :( so does any one know the size of the socket i require?? as i could not do that i thought i would drain the box down raedy for tomorrow, only to find that there was only about 200ml of oil in!! maybe if the bloody grease monkey i had taken it to 6 months ago had bloody checked it i would not be doing this now?? any way i removed air filter, battery, spedo sensor and clutch slave cylinder, (still need to remove the starter motor) Tomorrow, hopefully, if i get the correct size socket for the driveshaft i shall tackle this. after driveshafts i can only see six bolts that hold the gearbox in.

iannez Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 35mm but a 36mm hex will take them of if you have problems getting hold of one. dont forget about the earths on top of the box. Quote
Guest stephendrak01 Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 bit of a wast of time getting changed into my work stuff :( my little rachet was just not up to the job and its now borken. however ebay to the rescue and have just ordered myself a 15 inch breaker bar :angry: only problem is that its not going to be here for a few days. oh well may have to do some polishing on my "spare" camshaft cover for my fiat.
