Finally got this godforsaken gearbox out and the SMF kit in along with a good gearbox. I would seriously rather scrape my manhood over 3000 miles of broken glass than to do this job again... getting it back in was it's own challenge. The 4x4 angle drive really makes a difference here... also digging my buddies beetle project. To be continued on Tuesday!

That's about the cleanest my hands were the whole day I ended up taking a bath in gear oil and brake fluid, along with a ton of grease everywhere including clumps in my hair. Gouge on my head, and finger as well. All worth it, love hate relationship.

Quick tea break job
Fitted the reducing inserts in to the lower arms to reduce the size from 45mm to 30mm. This will help to reduce flex in the bush as well so should help stiffen up the front end more. So I can then fit the powerflex black series camber adjustable bushes and inserts.
And all pics failing to up load. Can I pm them to some one to up load. Saying they are to big. I don't have a clue how to reduce them
