Dropped mine out the other weekend to replace front seal.  As Marks DTM Calib says remove undertray (4 self tappers) to get to crank pulley.  Than as TB says.
Remember its a heavy old box - you need two people ideally - we dropped mine down using a trolley jack - and it went back up the same way.

All done in about 5 - 6 hours.

A Bottle of radweld and a 10 mile drive later.....and not a drop, yet


fingers crossed!


anyone know how long radweld works for once added?


I was chucking in a bottle about once a month  :-[ ;)
However i dont know if it was the same leak or new leaks, but it was the same side of the rad it kept leaking from.
