clutch box removal (LHD)
A simple one for you guys: how do I get the clutch box on a left hand drive TD4 out? I undid the 6 bolts, had to fight the sealant that glued the box to the firewall, and now have a loose clutch box in my engine bay but no way to rotate it to get the pedal through the firewall opening. All the videos I find are for RHD TD5 and earlier, with plenty of room I obviously don't have. Disassemble in place?

I never was good at Tetris so you might point me literaly in the right direction? Thumbs Up

I once heard that the mudguard has to come out. If that is true or not I do not know. Have only owned RHS ones. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Why do you need the pedal box out? If you are just changing the master cylinder it can be done without removing the pedal box.

yeah, I found out the hard way that you don't need to remove it because in the LHD version it is impossible to remove it from the top. Asked a friend who worked as a LR mechanic. I wanted it out to get rid of some minor rust spots. Well. They look happy where they are so better not disturb them. Thumbs Up
