Dave McDonald Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Neil From my own experience, without the benefit of a 4 poster, etc, lying on my back under the car, anything from 1 to 2 hours depending on how many times it decides to drop off the trolley jack as I try to maneouvre it into place. The longest part of the job after that is tightening up all the nyloc nuts on the prop and drive shaft flange bolts. Good luck. I hope Emma enjoys it. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jersey Royal Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Neil, As you are doing the job with ramp jacking beam etc 30 mins. Cheers GUY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foster461 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Stan Everything was new apart from the diff one person to remove me ( done a few ) time 27 mins , I want to beat that That is pretty good Niel. What slows me down is the 12 nylocs on the prop and drive shafts especially lying on the floor. Dont drop it on your foot. In fact dont drop it at all because the alu extensions on the rear cover will break if you just look at them funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
