Betcha used heaps of golf tees blocking off pipes though. Big W I've found are the cheapest for buying them if you need more.

Look forward to future progress updates. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

The hoist would be handy in the shed.

G'day Guys,

Had a slack day - started about 3pm and finished at 6pm!!!

Main aim of today was to remove all wiring / hoses etc so we can remove the engine and auto in one.

How it started this morning, after a quick drive up and down the driveway!!!



and after some unwiring and disconnecting of hoses etc





having LOTS of fun [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have the easisest way to remove a motor. Me and a couple of friends wanted a motor out of a Morris 1100 for a buggy afew years back.
1 : Wrap cahin around motor.
2 : Hook chain to winch mounted on landcruiser.
3 : Chain morris rear end to big tree.
4 : Activate wich.
5 : Pull motor straight through front end.
6 : Engine out.
Project looks good, I had not contemplated removing the body from the chassis to change a motor. Would give you a good look at the chassis etc and probablly easier than removing the floor pan etc just to get at the gearbox. Is there much involved in doing it this way?

I hope you remember where everything goes when it's in the Rangie :!: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] .

G'day Guys,

I picked up my RR this morning - hmmm, had a few dramas - but got it home with no real issues:



With the help of a friend and our new engine hoist I proceeded to remove the LT230 transfer box and then remove the engine and gearbox on one.



once removed all parts we degreased - leaving a very nice chassis, for 18 years old!!!



Hoping the weather will hold out tomorrow, so we can remove the TDI engine and gearbox in the same way
