my record drive in drive out is 6 hours. But I didnt have to worry about aircon stuff, the oil cooler for the manual, the EGR stuff and a few other bits and pieces that the owner had either diabled, removed or otherwise made easier to work around.

I was in a fully decked workshop, had the vehicle on a 2 post hoist and had a dolly crane for the lift.

well im expecting 8 hrs, but thtats not taking into acount pics,

drive in at 9,, drive out at 3.45 not a bad efert i say so my self,,, very pleased,,, clutch is heaps nicer to drive, no more clunks as i found the hand brake drum just sitting there:o, spent alot of time cleaning the belhousing and the release forks, and all moving parts, nice new spigot bush,

very happy,, i did find that when the box was out and i was changing the clutch,, i could move the DM fly wheel slitly in eather direction,?? is this right;)

Good job Stig:)

Yes normal movement is 5mm to 10mm either direction, but shouldn't 'rock' in and out.

good drills.

45 minutes overtime though...

hope you werent paying for it :)


howd you go with the aircon side of business?

[landyfever]

Hey Nic, what took you so long ? :eek:

Did you use air tools :p

[Hendrik]

I was gonna say, thats ages lol. You shoulda done it in 3 hours :wasntme:
Dave what do you mean the air con stuff, I don't know if it is different on a defender (probably is), but I've done a D2 clutch before and didn't have to do anything with the air con. Would love to know what's involved with the a/c.
And as far is I know, the r380 in the fender doesn't have an oil cooler....could be wrong though.

when i was removing i was looking at the AC pipes,, and they seemed ok,, and weather to take the trans cooler loop off or not, in the end i left the cooler on,,

the fly wheel dident move in/out just side to side,, thank god it was allrite, i was heaps worryed it was a fly wheel problem, and big$$$

but next time get a mate to help you mate the gbox with the engine, on your on is a b***h:D

i was also serprized at the meat left on the plate, considering we bort this car jsut to tow a 3T van offroad, there was heaps left,, but still all this to change a $3 part:D:D

yep...

on the aircon front I was meaning in terms of securing the aircon compressor somewhere out of harms way while you were hoiking the donk.

oh do you take the engine out for a clutch change,

[Blknight.aus]

depends, If Im also renewing the cooling system hoses, intercooler hoses and the engine mounts as well then yes....

when you said hoist I assumed you ment an engine hoist.

[Hendrik]

I can see why you're removing the engine to replace the coolant hoses, some of them are an absolute nightmare to replace.
