Keeping it alive - got back to the scrappy today to get the head off - had a bit of a PITA with the cambelt cover, but was the fault of myself not seeing a bolt at the back of the cover i missed..... ANYWAY... got the head off with just a standard wrench - who needs breaker bars - and someone had also cut the exhaust prior to me taking it so didnt need to touch that side of it! winning!



Then found the HG is still re-usable! WINNING!!



But unfortunately ended being unable to get the gearbox off - i got 3 bolts off the top of the box - the driver side shaft came out (just above the bottom engine mount), would this prevent the box coming off? i would have thought the box would still drop with it in that end?

Anyway, 3 bolts around the top of the box, and the only bolts in the bottom were on the sheeth to protect the fly. It seems to be stuck from the INSIDE? i dont want to have to take the box aswell as i dont want/need/afford it.

For the LOLS and a worthy tool
