[QUOTE="Haveacamper, post: 41235, member: 2051"] Well with the constant directing, and the odd use of my spanners of Loxy we eventaully got the engine and gear box onto the floor. If somebody ever tells me that its simply a matter of 4 bolts i'll go off the rails. After attempting to drop the engine followed by the gearbox, we found that, the way the engine mount bar was bolted, it had to go down, before it could go back. This was impossible, because the engine couldnt go back unless it was off the gearbox. Catch 22??? i think so. so the only way i could have dropped just the engine was to unbolt the bracket that the engine mount bar was bolted to. however, if this root was to be taken then the bumper irons would have had to come off first. we then looked at possible removing the engine bar from the engine, but as it bent above the heat exchangers i'd have had to remove the heat exchangers. in the end decided to just drop the two at the same time and at 11:10p.m finished with the engine on wood below the engine bay with the gearbox attached.
