So, the time has come to fit the cover over the drive belt in the port quarter wheel arch. Been dreading this for somewhile.
This is where the cover goes....
The first job is to get the suspension off....
and here it is all in place with a few self tappers and a mountain of PU sealant...
just need to get the suspension back on....
Couple of points of note here a) the cover fouls the drive belt and b) you cant get the suspension back on without the strut fouling the cover as well. Grr..
In the process of discovery I managed to pull the drive shaft out of the gearbox. This was very dissapointing.
Here you can see, but not touch, the problem inside the red circle.
As you see, half the known universe has been bolted on around the joint so it all has to come off.
Managed to get the cover off using a selection od saws, wedges and a bit of brute force.
Here it is with everything off and the drive shaft back in. Phew! Now to put it all back together.
Next time its getting it all back together.. but first we have Christmas!!!
