It can easily be done by one person working at ground level provided you have a suitable means of lowering and raising the t-box safely. Removing the t-box doesn't take long, perhaps an hour to remove and about the same to refit if you know what you're doing.

I’ve just ordered the Ashcroft kit after my clutch packed up yesterday, while I’m in there I may as well replace the shaft!

I’m a little confused about the source / route the oil takes to lubricator the coupling. Does the kit contain a new gearbox output seal which allows a quantity of oil to enter the coupling? Otherwise I don’t understand how the oil actually migrates from the gearbox to the coupling if the seal prevents any leaks?

2 splines and slots on the face (aligned with the splines) have been removed to allow oil to pass through.

What I do not know is how much oil will pass through. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Glad it went well for you, excellent result.

An hour to remove and refit the extension housing? Really? Very Happy


I think I missed this before.
Yes I think so. I have to be honest and say that I pretty much let the mechanic get on with it. I thought it might be quite a 2 person job at times, but it really wasn't.

So, after hanging about quite a bit, I just got on with some other bits and was just available if needed (which I wasn't).

I guessed it was around an hour between getting to the housing, and then the point where it was back in again, but I could be wrong. That would have included replacement of the oil seals and the removal/fitment of the transfer shaft cup.

Either way, to pick up on co1's question, yes definitely fine with 1 person, and working on the ground. My guy just used a trolley jack to help him lower the transfer box.
It's a few hours to do. As blackwolf said, if you know what you're doing it's probably a lot quicker than in my experience.
