Hi all,
Ive decided to put myself up to my neck and ploughed into stripping a spare gearbox down to rebuild and then replace my noisy current one. So far the transfer box was fine to strip and have the new parts on order, however the main box has been causing headaches and i'm running low on swear words.
I stupidly tried to remove the bell housing without removing the layshaft bolt first (which is on tighter than anything else) and even removed the primary pinion cir-clip and output cir-clip both of which I have replaced now. Through my effort to split the housing from the mainbox I appear to have miss-aligned the gears maybe or something as the box is now locked with reserve and 2nd gear (I think) engaged. The bellhousing also won't meet the mainbox anymore and I don't want to force them.
So, any ideas on how to get it all into neutral again firstly and secondly the best way of removing the layshaft bolt?
