Its also helpful to put the gearbox in gear and turn the rear output shaft wile your trying to push the box into the clutch...well it helped when we did my rear crank seal

For more tips...speak to Neal (RatCav) and/or Rob (RobFog) because they took my gearbox off twice (and thankfully refitted it twice too

)....so they have it down to a fine art now lol.

Are we now 2 vehicles down again ?
After watching the youtube clip I think we may have to open the trip up to the submarine owners club.

Oh well dutch courage could be called for :drink:

Really looking forward to this now I'm away from tomorrow for 4 days so it's going to be a mad rush next Thursday sorting out the gear and packing to leave on Friday, what time are people arriving at the camp site ?
