Broken Crank Shaft

[thomas.moeller]

Hi all,

Too much work and too little time to do the important things...... like getting the engine out of my cerb

I have been advised to take the engine out with the gearbox attached. Do any of you clever people know how to remove the gear lever. It looks like it is connected to the gearbox with two bolts but they are hard to get to and I'm in doubt if it is easier to remove them from the top (inside the car) or from underneath the car. Do any of you have a clever trick?

Have a great day

Remove gear lever bolts from underneath, not that tricky

I have only pulled the engine once, but I removed the gearbox first

Perhaps my situation is unusual, but I would suggest that removing the engine and gearbox combined will be tricky

That's because you would need a very long reach engine crane to access from the front

I was only able to access from the side

Undo the 4x 13mm bolts that hold the gear selector plate onto the gearbox. I use a 1/4" drive ratchet, its fairly easy.

• Edit** I get at those bolts from under the car reaching up to the top of the gearbox.
