Well today start off so well. Lol
I spent about an hour sanding filling ( chemical metal ) the rear crank then had to stop because my back was hurting by that time Ian & Maria turned up after a little chat Maria went in doors with Lisa out of the cold. Then Ian and myself set about doing the job in hand Ian started by doing more sanding whilst I fitted the new clutch release bearing on the carrier.
After an hour or so sanding Ian put the new seal on. Then we started putting everything back together ready for the gearbox to be put back on so we set the winch up and a trolley jack lifted the box up with a little wiggle of the box it was in. ( we couldn't believe how easy it went in. 10 minutes max ) fastened everything up then it was time to start the engine that is when we found out the cluch slave was leaking :o but as Ian & Maria had to set off so we left the slave for now and started the engine to see if we had sorted the leaking crank seal we left the engine running for about 15 minutes and all was good. :D we said are good byes to Ian& maria then I fitted the spare slave I had in the garage but that leaked as well. So I'll have to buy a new one before I can drive the car. Put all the tools away in that time I still had the engine running. And this photo is the end result of the engine running for about an hour or so.

Once I've got the new slave fitted I'll be able to see if the new seal holds up under pressure ( yes I no not the rag the engine for a 100 miles or so )

Once again a huge thank you to my partner in crime Ian :clap: :drink:

Mate it is always a pleasure. Glad it's holding out up to yet. Shame about the slave cylinder. Thanks to Lisa for the supply of coffee and bacon butties. Gonna have a cheeky rum now hehe. Oh and I put the lottery on tonight seeing as how easy that box went back on. No lies it took longer to fit the release bearing than the gearbox
