How to remove a discovery gearbox

It is said to be straight forward to do this, but to a novice it can be a daunting task.

I have never done it before, so today was a first, but it was done in 3 easy steps, using just 4 tools.






Tool one:





The digger
used to get the vehicle int the appropriate position.










Once in this position it allows access to remove the gearbox crossmember, for which you will need tool number two:










The noisy Spanner







immediately after this stage you will need to use tool number 4 (miss out 3):




The bigger hammer (3 is just not big enough):



And finally the final tool, the crane:





There, job done, I don't know what all the fuss had been about, you can easily do the same!!

Are you available for hire as I need a starter removing?

nae bother, just as long as you don't mind the odd little sratch!!

That's it always use machines to lighten the load save crawling under the disco and getting dirt in your eyes

That job is on hold pending the possiblity of a bigger task in the workshop!!

Well I might just have secured the required assistance to transplant the disco tdi into the 90, just need to gather the relevant required parts......

What is in the 90 at the moment?

2.5 petrol four pot with SU carb and K&N cone filter, it goes great but only does 15mpg!

Hope you can get all the bits together that you need mate looking forward to your write up and piccys on this conversion
