engine fitment

[T5frankie]

I'm looking for someone to do an engine change for me obviously someone who has done one before lol, it can be done at my premises or yours if not too far away, so if there is anyone that can do it it would be a great help and i will of course be paying you for your time. Thanks

If it is an inter forum meet/help, i might be able to help out next Saturday late afternoon.

Cant fit it Solo but would be more than happy to come along with my tool box and help out Frankie.

[siamblue]

Now is it out the top or from underneath? As i said, i can help out, but can't do it all myself.

Gary.

PS Are you going to replace the clutch while you are at it? if so you will need the Volvo special tool.

Pmsl mate :), what do you reckon then? im still saying it's a nightmare to get them out the top especialy with the vicous coupling on the m59 but willing to be educated.

Whats the special tool for the clutch?

[The Flying Moose]

Cant say I have every needed a special tool for the clutch? Definately worth taking the box off and flywheel off and doing the RMS while its out in my opinion.

I have a 2 tonne engine hoist I can bring along if Im back in time to help with the job.
