So I'm just gauging this up as to time and effort etc. for when the time comes.
From what I've read, people say it's a c*nt of a job, bla bla, need jacks and tools etc. But from my experience with the QD32 most of it is chinese whispers and it's easier than the "forum gods" make out to be.
In their defence, I'm a mech. fitter, and can do anything... but home garage limits apply here.
The tools I have are a basic set, and a pretty decent bench press. Enough to fit a RR P38 transfer case by hand anyway.
From what I've seen after diving underneath, I can split the gearbox into 3. Remove transfer case, remove gearbox, remove bell housing... do clutch... assemble in reverse order. Negating the need for engine hoists through the cab etc etc.
Has anyone done or heard of it being done this way? I'll either be looking for "yes it works" or doing a write up when the time comes as per my "in situ engine rebuild" thread.
cheers
