Well today was clutch day. I brought an 89 SWB safari a few weeks ago and the previous owner said the clutch was the only thing wrong with it, but that it still had a good 5 - 10000km on it. Well after a test drive I told him i would be surprised if I made the 350km trip home! after some negotiating I was the proud new owner and luckily for me I made it home
The brother in law is a part time mechanic as such and had access to a hoist so it was jacked up this weekend would be the weekend to do it. I decided it would be a good time to do all the diff oils/gbox and engine oils etc. I did abit of research on how easy it would be to do etc and it was funny to see what people said.
1 - They would take it to a workshop next time or
2 - They would take the engine out.
After today I would agree with both statements! We would of had it done in roughly 8 hours, but manifold studs broke.....not once but a second time just as we were doing a final tighten. Fun and games galore. Stoked to have it done and finally be able put the ol girl through her paces shortly.
Thanks to the forum knowledge base as well. invaluable
