    Ok today Garage_kook and i started unbolting my 4ac and gearbox

    So far we have just unbolted the tailshaft, gearbox mount and Exhaust.
    Where do i go from here???
    Do i do all the wires now or it just what i feel like doing at the time or???






    If nobody will tell me i will just keep going along unbolting what i think needs to be and so on

    Make sure that the engine doesn't sit on the steering rack.

    I usually start by ripping out the radiator and any piping, then disconnect the wiring, then the stuff like accelerator cable, air con unit if you have it, then get under the car and undo the tailshaft, speedo cable, slave cylinder, exhaust etc etc..
    Why hesitate when you can accelerate???

    and make sure to tape up the rear end of your gearbox so you don't leak oil everywhere..
