I have tried copious quantities of the latter, but the former sounds fun. Worst case is I'll flambe the bloody thing.
Cheers Mike. Leaving the railway industry behind and going back into the casino industry. Such larks.Petrols aren't my area, but looking through the Haynes manual none of the engine mounts are over 80 NM apart from right hand mounting bracket to engine that's 170Nm.
Congratulations on the new job, most of us take jobs with less hours as we get older, trust you to be different.

Bigger breaker bar and a lot more ignorance. Tighten a bit first before trying to loosen.Well the blowtorch made cock all difference other than shooting red hot bits all over the engine bay (never a happy thing on a petrol). Can you just remove the whole unit from the front of the engine?
If not then I have issues....
Anyone recommend a brand that doesn't just bend when I heave on it? My Sealey one seems to be losing the battle with my excessive weight.
Normally that's true. The Freelander is generally easy to work on, when compared to the suspension on a D3 for instance!!Aaah. The dreaded 'correct' leverage. I shall endeavour to apply the 'right amount' of torque with 'suitable' levels of swearing.
Get a Freelander they said..... Everything is a reasonable size and easy to work with..
I bought a 3/4" 1.3m bar off ebay for not too many smackers. I think it may have been sealy but can't remember. Only thing is you'll need a 3/4" to 1/2" adaptor if you don't already have one.I like the idea of a bigger bar. It means I can buy a tool. 1.3m adequate?
