Does anyone know if the clutch bulkhead to bellhousing pipe can be refitted whilst the engine and gearbox are in the car? I can get the pipe fitting on to the bellhousing but I can't get a spanner in there to tighten it up?

I asked this over on the Tuscan forum but no-one seems to know.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks John.

I couldn't find an old 9/16 ring spanner but did manage to find a short open ended 9/16 spanner that I bent in a vice to about 70 or 80 degree which did the job. I had to be careful not to go to far as it looked like the spanner might fracture. It wasn't as bad as I feared in the end so the neighbours cat isn't limping!

Is there a procedure for setting up the clutch pedal travel? I've replaced the clutch, slave cylinder and had the pedal box out and was wondering if you need to limit the travel to stop the slave cylinder blowing it seals or anything?
