ok im in the process of putting my gearbox back in.

how do you go about torqueing the rear gearbox mounts back up. i mean the 3 bolts on the side. there is only just enough room to get a (deep) socket over them.

 

never torqued em up just fooking tight with a spanner or whatever u can get on it

 

that was gonna be my last resort. lol

 

As above just get them as tight as you can, make sure they are nylock nuts

 

they are standard nuts, washers etc so they should be alright

safechav - i remember you saying what a nightmare it was gonna be engaging the gearbox to the engine. you are so right

 

Ahhh i thought the standard ones were nylock Mine are bling stainless nylocks anyway, so they look good and i no they won't be coming loose, but aren't new nylocks just such a cunt to screw up the first time

Hmmmmm they are indeed, all i can say is sorry

 

wen transferring the engine and box from my old shell to new we kept gearbox connected to the engine. must say its bloody close goin in lol, and that was with bonnet off to, to help with space so the engine crane could come right in. for tightening gearbox bolts, we jus used a rachet spanner and then normal spanner with a hammer to ensure its tight
