Bit more progress today, oil cooler and oil filter housing gaskets changed and a quick clean.
Will do a better clean of the engine and box when it’s out of the garage just before it goes back in.
Then started working on getting the box off. One of the selector bracket bolts chewed but not enough to stop it coming out. Doubt it will torque back up though and it’s a 10 day wait from BM as needs to come from Germany.
Will use the old slave bolt for now and put it in the most accessible place until I can replace it.
Then it was just the bell housing bolts. Most were fine but a couple were stupidly tight!
I also forgot to remove the lower one whilst it was in the car so had to lift the engine back up to get it out.
Box off and definitely signs of rear main leak. But that’s it for today, will look at clutch and flywheel removal then rear main change and new clutch tomorrow.
Still on the standard one it seems, wonder how much material is left.
Need to work out how I’m going to remove the ring gear from the standard diff as I don’t have a vice.
