You'll all be please to know that a guide for fitting a 182 manifold (with a few pics) is on it's way


I was just finishing the job and trying to get my lower ball joints bolted to the wishbone.........then the passenger side inboard driveshaft gator poped off and i lost all my gearbox oil. :dapprove:

2 questions

1) the steel clip around the gator - do hellfrauds sell them and do i need any special tools?
2) What's the gearbox oil capacity of a 172 Ph2 FF?

 

[mattjk]

2.) would be 3.1 75-80w

 

[Mark One]

only 3.1 litres? ok

 

[mattjk]

Search if you dont believe me

 

[Mark One]

does the driveshaft have to come out to get the inboard gaitor back on the bearing? If it does im going to be upset

can i just use a jubilee clip instead of the factory fitted ren ones

 

[Fred@BTM]

take it out, you'll be able to pop the gaitor back on the bearing, no new bits needed

 

[Mark One]

Yeah. Don't know what i was winging about really. Just took the shaft out, poped the gaitor on, then did the circlip thingy up by pressing it together with 2 flatheads. easy as you like!

Off to buy G box oil now (lift from mum lol)


182 manifold fitting guide coming today or tommorrow. Grey if your reading this.........ha ha, i got mine on first

Girl! Took the gearbox out my 1.6 twice using nothing more than stands and a trolley jack.
