Agreed! Prybars help (shovel / pick axe / mattock / pinchbars etc; with old towel / rubber etc wrapped around are held in the highest regard in my shed

And enjoy!

The best tip of them all!!!!!

Cheers

Look pretty handy for removing bodies from the chassis as well...

It was a suprize shot that my girlfriend at the time took my photo, it was quite ezy and the hardest part is lining the clutch back to the gearbox shaft once that is done the engine just slips back in.I did this all on my own in one day and had the new engine running

I remember now, undo the bolts in the bell housing and support the gearbox from underneath. Undo engine mounts, exhaust etc etc. find a way of slinging motor with chains or straps. I think I bolted the chains to exhaust stud holes from memory. I slung mine with an endless chain and gantry but if you have an engine crane that would be better. Be careful when separating the gearbox that the clutch doesnt foul up with the input shaft on the gearbox as they come apart.
There would be other ways and probably better ways but that worked for me.

Chassis no. should be next to the steering box. I say "should" because it isnt on my chassis and I have another chassis here without one as well. If anyone could suggest why its not there and what to do about it that would be good.

you can take motor and box out all as one if you have removed radiator support
just have to get the balance right for the angle
i did this to remove and replace them in my van buy myself
easer to unbolt bellhousing or line clutch and gearbox on the floor with out trying to lay under van and do it
