Nearly ready for a Roadworthy. Just waiting on a pair of Trico asjustable wiper arms.
Took it for a spin to warm the gearbox oil then tried to drain it.
The main drain plug came out OK but the filter drain took heating with a hot air gun and a 3 ft breaker bar to move it.
First drain since I bought the box, so a pig in a poke. The filter looked good though.
T,box a different story. The drain plug went round and round.
Dropped the plate off to look inside, everything looked OK and not much on the magnet.
Had to drill the plug then with some work with a die grinder I could lever it down from the top with a screwdriver on the gear.
Now to buy a Re coil set but I dont know the thread pitch. Looks to be 12mm something.
Anyway a relief to get it out.
I will buy a day permit to drive into town for the RWC maybe next week or the week after if I can get the right helicoil.
