Sump bolts

[John Mason]

I have done the odd one whilst the engine has been in the chassis by working from underneath in a similar way to what Simon ( Slack Alice) suggests. The only difference is I put a clean piece of rag above the stud hole to catch any pieces is swarf and the broken off tang. I finalise by washining the area with petrol from a clean pump style oil can filled with petrol. Because the sump bolt holes are are at the lowest part of the engine and the rag prevents metal swarf going upwards I consider this method safe.
