I need to remove the engine on my RP box;I would like to remove it with the gearbox attached as is my usual practice so that blind spline etc more easily sorted. A good friend and professional mechanic.now sadly departed.taught me that what at first sight seems to be unnecessary dismantling will actually often simplify things considerably.With this in mind it looks to me as if after disconnections and removal of accessories,the easiest route would be to remove the front of the car[rad etc] and come out forwards. I should add that at 78 and after 2 spinal ops awkward lifting and bending are best avoided. What does this knowledgeable forum think?
