    Oh it should be pretty easy if there is no flywheel to take off, putting one on is 9000x easier than getting the bugger off

    only difficult bit will be getting all the bolts back in for the clutch cover. The bottom ones are very tight on the subframe. a flexi ratchet spanner is very handy

    also, would be a good idea to flow the spin on type housing, there is alot of casting left in there after manufacturing because they arnt machined at all. in the oil feed in the middle, make it as flowey as possible. i think i put some pictures of what i did to mune on my build thread for t clubman

    Okay cheers and yeah spin on type yeah erm I copied you by drilling the holes in the housing I liked the look ad I was going to use a braided hose coming from the filter housing to a cooler il take a look at your thread

    i just looked through, i havnt. if you look at the back where it mounts to the block and under neath through the hole with the thread on it the two chanels join that feeds the oil to the filter. this can be ported and made alot smoother for better oil flow:) also the return hole is very small, take this out as much as possible
