The only tools I can think of is a flywheel puller & an engine crane. Other than that, a torque wrench is handy when putting it all back together. I did a gearbox change in a couple of days last year.

[mini danny]

ya the daily red one i brought from lance had some wierd problems like stealing jumping ect replaced cv joints went to drive down road stopped went to pull off again and.bang no drive and sounds like teeth are just catching grinding

You sure its the gear box and not a broken CV?? Dont forget you have inner and outer CV's to look at..........

I would say it was the inner cv myself if you have lost drive. But then it could be the gearbox.

[mini danny]

ill.check the inner cv's tomorrow not even looking today as its my.bday
