Bit of an update, not really done much in the last few weeks, last night i got the near side drive shaft out, not such a hard job really. the hardest part was i had left half my tools at home so had make do with my dad tools, he hasn't got that many!!
Anyway drive shaft out and split, i like the way in this pic you can see how the metal in the bearing has changed colour due to it heating up over the last 15 years. bit of a pain to split the shaft but just kept hammering until it moved.
Empty space on the car
Then i decided to clean up the shaft and give it a quick coat of hammerite, ready to recieve the new gaiter.
Thats all for now, hoping to get the gear box out next.
Is it easier to remove the bolt through the rear engine mount or the engine mount from the gearbox?
Cheers
Matt
