Engine work (gearbox)


Fitting the release bearing
 
The clutch release mechanism is a modified (by GD) hydraulic bearing, with braided hoses fitted.
Mine as other blogs didn't fit so I had to open the bottom slot a bit with a de burring tool . Remembering to protect the gearbox bearing from flying aluminium .
 

Slot opened  in the gearbox

 
Now it fits
 
The hydraulic release bearing was located over the gearbox output shaft, with the outlets aligned with the slots in the gearbox. The release bearing was bolted in place with the two M6 set screws supplied. Both screws had thread lock  applied. The bottom  hose is the bleed pipe.

 Fitting the bell housing

The bell housing was attached to the gearbox, using seven new high tensile bolts. These bolts were thread locked too.
bell housing attached and torqued up ready to fit to the engine
