removal / refit gear box

[richy rich]

im so supprised with holdcroft mitsi seals orderd yesterday got phone call 10.30 to day seals are in.
now in my hand.

Zedy and I took a auto box and engine out of a V6 last night!! it took 2 hours!

Admitatly we had the help of an angle grinder and lots of disks

The Auto box weighs more than the manual, but if all you are doing is replacing a seal, then it should be easy enough. You won't even need to drop the engine like Barry, Zedy and I needed to.

If you want help send me your address!

wouter y did mo have to use an angle grinder was it just for ease.

The reason we used an angel Grinder is that the car was going to be "recycled" soon anyway and we were in a hurry to get the engine and gearbox out.

Oh... and we did not have a engine hoist handy, so we dropped the engine and then cut a hole in the front so that we could drag the engine out!

It is fun watching Mo work! No messing about at all!!

i don't no if you can see it in 5th pic Ive put Axel stands under the car with them situated on the main Chase (the two main box looking sections along the Chase).
then i read that the Axel stand must be put in the same place as you would jack the car with the cars own jack.
Ive moved them how
Q will this have damaged the Chase i don't think i have, im just after reassurance on this issue.
