Put your back into in Ian you don't need an impact gun, just brute strength

Brute I have, but took most of the skin off my back trying mate!

Looks likeley I'll just get new hubs, ABS Sensors and shafts.

Shame the R doesn't have them .

Ian, that roof looks stunning. I though at first you had vinyl wrapped it and though hmmmm, OK.

Then i clicked the link, seen the screens popped out and then thought..... Come on stop drooling, your a grown man.

Excellent work

I know what you mean mate, when I took the gearbox out of mine, even with a long bar I couldn't remove the bolts but like Merv said, brute strength and a helping hand from a hammer came in handy.

Good work though on what your doing.

The Trooper 1815

The rack is off!



I am still struggling with the bolts holding the wishbones to the chassis even with the impact gun I borrowed.

I am thinking that while all the rack etc is off why not get the engine out. Clean the bay up and make it easier in the long run.

Anyone have an engine hoist and stand, please?

Jimbob

iTrader: (13)

Yep, but I may be a bit far for you. Unless Ty wants to come get them in his Vanimal??

That rack looks horrid, and heat will get the bolts out, as different metals expand at different rates so it should crack the rust thats welding them together.

The Trooper 1815

Made a bit more of an effort today to get the engine prepped for removal.

Disconnected all the main parts and even managed to get the turbo shield off without snapping a bolt . Just the drive shafts and the box to disconnect.




Air con disconnected.


Drained the oil and coolant as the modine pipe and hoses, water pump and belts will be changed.


It's cleaner down there than I thought.

Lucky you got some good advice on these Ian, I'd hate to see anyone bullied into making a decision.

Have you spoken to Jimbob yet about the engine crane and stand?

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

All he needed was a little nudge aye Ty

The Trooper 1815

iTrader: (31)

No mate, been busy with work and trying to sort out the runabout.

I'll drop him a PM.

What I'd be tempted to do is get the electrics running through an electrical military socket, that way engine in and out in minutes and unscrew the socket job done

The Trooper 1815

Funnily enough Si, I identified those on the WRC Cars when we went to Prodrive a while ago.

I may be able to get hold of some, would look the danglies on the bulk head and be very original.

The Trooper 1815
