I looks as though it's all as it was originally and has never been modified.

Are you doing this on a lift? I'll be lying on driveway...!
I'll have a think about that method, might jack down each box rather than lifting it though. What additonal problems could separating the ... |

I'm still open to either method!
How do you lower/support the boxes? Crane or jack?- Or are you saying by splitting the transfer and gear boxes it makes them man-handleable? |

Cheers all for the shared experience. 
I attempted to build a scaffold structure today. I can't get the height or sturdiness that I need with the gear I have, so an engine crane might be the eas ... |

So my Valeo 5 peice clutch kit arrived today...
If this is all there is to the release bearing, it's a wonder it lasts as long as it does! Can't wait to see the state of the old one when I finally ... |

Thanks for the advice - I will get to it. So it sounds like standard practice to have to hammer the new ones on then?
Interesting theory on the twisted shafts - can see that being the case, there' ... |
