Hi All
I am removing the gearbox to replace the clutch slave cylinder. I cannot remove the bevel box to propshaft 10mm splined coupling bolts, as 2 of the 3 bolts are inaccessible. The propshaft will not turn to provide access to these bolts. The front drive shafts are disconnected and the rear wheels are free to move.
Any suggestions would be welcome

Put it in gear and spin the engine manually.. Prop should turn.. Turned when I did mine.

If you remove the tip you can get good access from top.

Thanks for that Sam. Will do that. What did you mean by tip?

TIP=Turbo intake pipe,basically the pipe that goes from the air filter(box) to the turbo...
