halfords did not have the right size socket that was my excuse. so i thought ill take the whole assembly out..

if u cant get a 41mm socket you can get a 40mm socket on it. I made a y shaped tool up in the end and a long pole on it and breaker bar


lesson learnt hehe

It was less hassle to drop the lot on to an oil drum and then split it later (read Handy Andy split it later) than to remove bits required. The front was done in the same manner complete with legs,subframe,engine and box.
Then removed from the frame and box taken off the engine so convienient to man handle,I will admit the workshop is a commercial one so cant take all the credit,but it made life a lot easier.
