Woolen:  We took it out with a scaff bar and it was a right ballache.
I'm not **** about taking it apart, (or buying a roofrack...) it's ready to go in and I can wait a bit longer, I've got nowhere to rush off to anyway....

Hi Kev to be honest my first one I removed with a scaff bar on the doors but every time since I've just split the transfer box from the gearbox as it's quite easy to do and I can lift each on my own. The photo is from replacing the clutch at leafers a couple of years ago so I just needed to remove the overdrive and move the boxes back enough for the new clutch to go in.

My gearbox is out until work opens so I can nick the crane, so I've not been able to drive it.

No need for a crane just ratchet straps and split the box from transfer box.

As it's drive it day today I've topped up the oils been to supermarket then had a short evening drive to take dogs for walk down the localish canal.

It's back to being work transport tomorrow.

Anyone else get out for a short drive today for Drive it Day?
