    the perentie can be done in 6 hours by one man in a fully decked workshop.

    the TD5 is a bit more cramped up but providing everything goes just so 8 hours is not an unreasonable ask for a deefer.... Im not going to guess at a disco.

    i did my td5 in a day (7am-6pm) on the floor, no hoists and only 2 trolley jacks... had the gearbox in and then out and back in cause the slave cyl rod fell into the bellhousing i did need LRH's set of hands to manuver the trolley jacks...

    cheers phil
