An update

[DJ.]

I'm sorry, I have to take my wife to her family get together tomorrow. Can probably get along after the run on Sunday though.

Feelin' the love guys I think I'd be daft to turn down the offer of help given that I've not hauled an engine out before. So, I'd like to do something on this tomorrow (Saturday) if anyone's available? I suppose just the closest/most readily available person would do if it's not too much hassle.

I have an engine crane at the ready (thanks Rob).

Oh go on then, PM me your address and I can 'find' a few hours, it'll be a good distraction from the week I've had at work! Fairly flexible re when during the day

Tony,

Your supposed to be at mine tomorrow, to help put my engine back in
seriously , go help Russ, as if hes never taken an engine out, he will need some help, I on the other hand, seem to do it about once a month

Sorry Steve, just packed all my hammers for a trip to the coast

[steve m]

Russ and Tony, do you need any tools that you may not have or may need? if so Tony could collect enroute to you

Err... dunno? Got Tony's hammers and I've got a plank of wood. What more do we need?

[DJ.]

I have a clutch alignment tool which you'll need putting it back together, otherwise it's pretty much the standard tools.

[steve m]

Although it easier with the correct tool, you can also do the same job with a 1/2 extention bar and wrap inulating tape round the bar to fill the gap of the clutch plate, and use that as a centralizing tool

well, I know what I mean, but the above description is a bit vague .........

Russ, what did you find, as Tony likes to go round to others to view problems

How rude, I was very industrious, I'll have you know

I'll leave it to Russ to provide an update, safe to say only one hammer, well rubber mallet was called upon........
