It is easier to get the engine and gearbox out as one unit.
You dont have to pull the drive shatfs out of the gear box. The inboard joints have 6 bolts each. Undo these, leave the drive shafts in the car, and the ends in the gearbox. no oil leaks then!
Mark EVERYTHING!!! Obvious i know, but the times ive thought, "i'll remember that one easy..." and then forgotten....
Roll or 2 of masking tape, and a black texta.
Take the bonet off. I dont know why some people try to leave it on. Much easier with it off.
You should be able to drain the coolant from a tap on the bottom of the radiator. Much leass mess doing it that way.
Be methodical, and you shouldnt have a problem getting it back in.
