No such thing as too good weather - nothing worse than freezing your knackers off in the rain covered in all sorts.

Good luck with the work!

Be interested to know how long it takes and the method. I know it will be much much quicker then I could do it.

There has been lots of swearing in the method so far

Only when two of the cap screws holding the pressure plate to the flywheel rounded off, they were rather tight!

The clutch is in and the gearbox is back on, driveshafts fitted so all in all not a bad day (If a tad warm)

The method is as always - subframe removed and out of the way, gearbox dropped down using an engine crane.

So far today, 7 hours, lots of coffee and food breaks, no rush to do the job.
