does kit include spigot bearing and are you looking to replace extension shaft at the same time - at least have a look while you're at if I were you. hope all goes well Saturday. |

Most bolts go in back to front , but there are a few ( never counted !) That go front to back
hope that makes sense ! |

So, the top three are front to back, unlike the others? Would make sense... Will have a mooch again tomorrow...

Top three are back to front, drop rear gearbox mounts off, cross member off & lower gearbox on a jack then use a very long, extension bar and socket from the plate under the cubby, with the gearsticks out of the way you can almost see them!!
Good luck - again |

As for the cat nuts, a small sharp drill and carefully split them off, probably easier that replacing broken studs.
The one I couldn't shift is the 6mm one on the manifold holding the brace bar, |

I left the exhaust in place when I last changed the clutch on my 110. It's a bit more fiddly and you can't drop the main gearbox, but if you roll the gearbox back on a transmission jack there is enough room.
Bellhousing fasteners are somewhat inaccessible, some can be reached from above, some from below. |

Cheers to all who've given me some advice and guidance...
I'll give it another crack next weekend! ... ,-------, .. I [__][_]|__ .. I __ |"_|"__| .. "(o)====(o)" ^^_-^-_^-^_^^^^^--^^^^ PAUL G7ALW 14.200 USB 26FB458 / 27.275 SSB |

Well, all is going to plan.. Or just about! Managed about 5 hours today..
The stuck and rounded cat nuts are off.. Irwin nut removers.. Marvellous devices.. Not cheap, but you can really get a grip on yer round nuts! Most of the minor dismantling done in prep for taking transfer box off and then the gearbox.. Managed to locate 8 of the 10 bolts.. Hopefully, I'll find the other two tomorrow! Oil drained from TB and GB.. Props off, zorst n cat off, crossmember off, interior tunnel and panel stripped.. Gear and hi-lo selector removed.. Jeez, the list is almost endless! But I want to have a good mooch at the TB and GB for any wear, so taking the car to bits is a worthwhile exercise.. ... ,-------, .. I [__][_]|__ .. I __ |"_|"__| ..
