engine removal question.

Hi,

Can the engine be removed with the rear of the ppf still attached to the diff? I am having trouble tracking down an M14x1.5 to remove the diff sleave, thus stopping me from removing the ppf.

Yes I do this every time.

But why do you need a m14 bolt to remove the ppf from the diff?

I recall some reference to that in the Haynes manual - it is incorrect, just undo the bolts. However, you do not need to disconnect the PPF at the diff to remove the engine.

The diff sleeve can sometimes be difficult to remove, but when it is stuck I have removed the mounting block on the side of the diff carrier, which then enavls you to remove the ppf.

There MUST be a correct way to assemble and dissassemble the ppf from the diff, but I always just use a crowbar and level it on and off fully assembled.
