    Today's valuable lesson brought to you by me.

    I just finished refitting my LT230 and I highly recommend leaving the input gear out until the case is bolted to the gearbox. I spent about 2 hours trying to get the splines to align and push it together under the vehicle! I finally decided to remove the input gear and it became clear I should have done that 1:50 ago. Took 10 minutes after that. What a waste of 2 hours!

    Engage high range and CDL, use two 150mm guide pins and rotate an output flange until it slips on. Should take less than a minute.

    Yep, I did all of that... Just wasn't working for me. I assume, even though I was using guide pins and all, that something must have been misaligned still. No idea why else it was being so painful!

    I must admit that I didn't even use any 150mm guide pins - just me and a mate maneuvering the thing into place, then grab an output flange with CDL engaged and rotate, slotted into place - less than a minute in total from lifting off the ground.

    Bad luck Judo, the gods were not smiling on you this time.
