Day 9

IT'S OUT!! It took an entire day but with a lot of effort on the part of me and my friend James we finally got the engine and gearbox out at 8 in the evening, having started at 9 that morning.


Todays problems were mainly about the exhaust and PPF which is the frame around the propshaft. As usual they had managed to chemically bond themselves to the car and refused to come off.

The exhaust should have come off just past the manifold, but I didn't have the right tool to remove the heated oxygen sensor so I couldn't get to the bolts. Eventually we used the angle grinder to remove one of the bolts on the downpipe, and the other one was coaxed off with a ratchet and my foot.
