Well I started this job this morning at around 0900hrs, Op 'Rubic's Cube' was in full swing when 112-501 wouldn't start, probably because it was cold n damp, jump start off 110-850 and eventually it started (I most likely flooded it as well), but with the jump start I managed to do something to the electrical system in 110-850, it's generator won't charge now??
, anyway can't be bothered with that ATM, on with Op 'Rubic's Cube, all vehicle movements were completed at around 1030hrs
, finally 172-562 was in place.
I started taking the LHS floor out then RHS, with those out of the way, I removed the underseat box and the 3 x 2BA csk screws etc that hold the center underseat box cover insitu,, undid fuel tap from seatbox floor, lifted out the trans/tunnel.
Gee there are some bolts holding the seat box in, lucky for me I only needed to un nip them and they all came undone using my fingers
, the good wife was pressed into service and within a minute or two the seatbox was out and in the back of 172-562
Back under the vehicle undo the front prop/shaft, then loosen the front nuts of the rear prop/shaft leaving one to support the shaft while the rear nuts/bolts are removed, then remove shaft.
Undo handbrake assembly, remove hand brake all together, remove back gearbox bolts from the mounts, drop oils from both G/box & T/case, while that is happening knock the gearbox into gear, remove split pin from rear output shaft, loosen the nut and remove it, remove T/case rear cover, and remove the output gear, I have the proper Land Rover service tool to do the job
looking around the outside of the T/case there are a number of nuts n bolts to be removed, then undo the whole handbrake drum, and backing plate assembly, next undo the nut that holds the intermeadiate shaft insitu, remove fuel lines etc out of harms way.
Remove all the nuts etc and take off the T/case sump, watch for the little bit of oil that is always trapped there, slide the intermeadiate shaft out while supporting the intermeadiate gear, lower it down, careful not to tilt it sideways and drop the bearings in the dirt/concrete, remove thrust washers, this then gives access to 3 more nuts that hold the G/box to the T/case, break the seal between the two lift out the T/case.
Undo all the nuts around the periphery of the bell housing, remove clutch slave cyl, jack up engine under the sump with a block of wood under the sump, then when you have approx 25mm under clutch housing place a small block of wood in that space, grab the G/box output shaft, give it a bloody good wiggle sideways and the box should come away with ease, eventually leaving you with a space like this
yes I know you can remove T/case without removing the whole floor sub assembly but I'm way too old and stuffed to be doing it that way LOL
.
Tomorrow I will remove what I need from the G/box and put it on the donor box, slip the clutch pressure plate off and check the surface of the driven plate and flywheel, if all OK, I will start and re-assemble it tomorrow afternoon, all of the above took approx 6 hours working by myself, and in between time helping the good wife with a few chores about the house
, anyway that was my day, cheers Dennis
ps here is the issue that I have to resolve with 110-850 post in AULRO
