Blonde moment, ofcourse it is.

What about wrapping the splines with the mrs marrigold and clamping it with a vicegrip then while holding it use another grip to undo the thread?

Providing you have more than one caveman grip

General Car Chat / Re: Copper washers ?

« on: 25 July 2017, 16:13:34 »

For the brake banjo there are 2 types, copper and aluminium.

they are just flat washers, they get imprinted once they have been used (concentric rings)

similar to the washer you find on the sump plug but dont get wrecked half as much

« on: 24 July 2017, 21:28:37 »

If the auto has been converted to manual then the gearbox ecu must still be connected (something to do with the inhibitor switch)

But the auto engine ecu should be ok with a manual box
