Last resort could be tap it round slowly with hammer and punch. Your way is probably better mind

The oil cooler union? It is a f+cker. Ally and steel. Last I did I cut the nut with a hacksaw and got enough slack to get it off. I think he's the other end of the pipe though. Don't think you can get in there.
MrGorsky took the whole lot out but I cannot remember how. Might have taken the exhaust off.

Sometimes it maybe considered that all mechanics should have very small hands with broken wrists and elbows. That however is not the case mostly, so ingenuity and experience have to take over.

Loading logs is better. Shut the boot every so often and up she comes. Drive off with a ton in the back and you don't even notice. Very clever.

Coils tend not to split when full of heavy wet wood driving out of the field. I guarantee you will notice then

Never happened yet. But my mate's jap thing grounds out with the front pointing at the sky with a similar amount of wood!

shogun just had to go just forget wood, mildly wet grass even. F****** joke.
My hilux would too but beans, reverse, then more beans and smash your way through it. It did have all the underguards though very front heavy and fully independent suspension on front so crap
(It is s-crap now, who would think!)

My Shogun was much better on wet or frosty grass than the P38, I have to leave the P38 out in winter as it will not climb the grass slope from my covered parking, the Shogun and the Galloper did it with ease. I suspect the type of tyre fitted is the key.shogun just had to go

Shogun had A/Ts on 17”? Alloys. Really bad off tarmac.
P38 would do better than one I had with no tyres on it at all. Got 32”M/Ts now so 2ft snow seems to bring it alive
The guy that got the shogun now likes his off-roading so I will have to go see what he did with it. Was standard when I had it except for few engine +’s.
I’m well happy I have the P38 instead and a lot better on fuel
