    I enjoy a challenge, but total respect for doing that job on the floor. For people who don't work on cars, that is the one of the biggest jobs you can do how he is doing it. Removing the engine & box would arguably be easier as would just drop it all as one complete unit. Good Job sir!

    hello mate, just a quick tip regarding your gun, if you take the drop link off and dont use the extensions it will more than likely take them nuts off no problem, its the amount of extensions you have on the ryobi thats causing your gun to lose impact

    I've watched several of your videos and I have to say I'm impressed, your dedication to making these cars the best you can is inspirational. Speaking as a near 70 year old with mobility 'issues' I have to pay a garage to do all but the most simple of repairs. I have a 2006 Range Rover L322 Vogue SE 3.6 TDV8. I must be f***ing mad. But I love it, it is my 'forever' car but at 70 that ain't so much of a worry.🤣

I’ll leave the prop in place and swing the engine/box forward to get shaft off and not bother to drain gearbox

    Such a massive job to do on stands. It's absolutely knackering working on the floor. For the sockets that lose the locking bearing, find some tiny neodymium magnets and glue one in where the bearing was. It works great and is a cheap workaround.

    Great job. I’ve done a good few over the years. Probably the worst was a mk3 MR2 or an Abarth 500 When you put it back on get someone to rotate one of the driveshaft couplings slightly, it will make it easier to get the gearbox input shaft into the clutch plate.
