well, I am off all next week, so early in the week if that\'s OK???

good luck getting the nut off mate! I had to stick the engine block in the boot of the Chavallier and drive it over to Carl in Newbury to use a combination of his air tools, a bar and a small lump hammer!

It\'s all good fun!

I have a technique that has worked well for me...
1 - drill hole in floor
2 - whack in eye bolt and tighten furiously.
3 - chain engine to floor.
4 - apply socket to nut.
5 - apply 2 ton trolley jack.

If that doesn\'t work, it\'s staying on the car!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to people - Had a bit of a disaster at home, but is starting to be resolved, and tripped over both these items in the garage...

AllstarUK - You bet your butt, I\'ve finished with the bar and am grateful of the loan. How would you like me to return this puppy?

Hamc - so sorry for the delay - tis stamped and packaged, but I need an addy to send it to???

Cheers
