Greg, Take the engine and gearbox out together. It may seem like more work but it is much easier in the long run. I never hesitate to take both engine and ...
Yeh I would go the enging/box all in one option. Its only 10 more bolts. I think you would save time in getting the engine back in if you keep it all in one. ...
I always take the engine out separately, cos its easier than having to acheive the severe angles required for both together PLUS, you dont trip over the...
