Yes.

While you are in there, you may as well clean out the bell housing, fit a new bush and change the clutch.
And a new HD arm.
And check your flywheel is flat ... just done my Defender, it's very satisfying.

No you don't ignore all of them others they have no idea what their talking about.

You take the engine out to access the bearing... .....

I have to admit that’s what I would do, but the point is , the engine and gearbox have to be parted, which effectively what op was asking
 
If you think of it as removing the body and engine from the gearbox, you feel like you made a massive job much easier.
 
It could be worse, you could have fitted a new clutch, cleaned and painted the gearbox and fitted a new transfer box to find that the midget rattling the can of spanners is still there and it all needs to come out again .... :rolleyes:

I'm actually a bit worried about that too. Was considering if it's worth putting it in stands so I can run it up before refitting all the floor and seat panels.

It'll be better with road resistance on the drive train ...

Recently?
 
Yes, right now ...
Layshaft.
Just in the process of ordering a new box. as soon as I stop crying....

Bollox. I've done plenty of putting things in wrong, out and in again, but not a a gearbox.
 
No just undo the gearbox, prop, mounts etc then shuffle gearbox back on trolley jack then change clutch and bearing no need to remove seat base.
 
I have done the job as above when I knew it was just the release bearing that needed changing.
