    That's correct. Pretty sure you just need to remove the rubbers. There's a post in a thread somewhere on here that even details the sockets and extensions needed.

    Yes, that's what I did. It would be absolutely impossible without dropping the motor as far down as it would go!

    Might be easier with the body off! Haha..

    I think sometimes with all the effort to get to a couple of bolts, undoing 10 more and undoing a couple of plugs and what not, not touch worse.

    Although, perfect world with a hoist and all that!

    Gees, it takes bugger all to drop the compression to the point where the cylinder doesn't fire. what's that about 1 or 2mm ?
