Thread: Defender Air Con Removal from dash

A couple of questions:

I've never really been able to play with the workings of a Landy (my father was ultra protective of his, who'd have thought [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] ), so I haven't worked much on them until now, so I'm a little afraid of things because they have a habit of going crack and bang when I'm working it (it's mainly the $$ thing [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] ).

(a) The bolts at each end of the internal a/c assembly have worked themselves loose and the nuts have gone for a wander in the dash assembly, behind the speakers 8O ! As a result the a/c seems to be hanging (about 1cm) there, bouncing about. My hands are too fat to fit in through the speaker holes to find them [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Does anyone know what the procedure is for removing the Air Con from the dash assembly with minimal damage/frustration?

At the moment it seems superficial, but I'm a perfectionist [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

&copy; I've just got my Ashcroft High Ratio kit, so the removal of Transfer Box is necessary to install the new gears. (i) How easy/long, (ii) Tools rqd, (iii) tip's and tricks? :?
