Top Bolt R32 Gtr 5 Speed

[MrStabby]

From the workshop manual it looks like there's a bolt at 12oclock - how do i get this out? There doesnt seem to be any access. Which side should i come at it from - exhaust or front driveshart (I havent removed either at this stage).

Tnx,

Kot

I think the easiest way is to remove the gearbox xmember then lower the gearbox which tilts the whole box/motor

back; then you can get at the bolt.

we use two looonnnng extensions with a universal on the end....easy as!

it needs to be as long as the gearbox as you get to it from the rear.

Tnx Dirt & Kami, the gearbox is out! Spent all day today getting the twin plate cage apart (three broken allen keys later and i had to drill the last bolt out...) anyway its done now.

Got any tips for flywheel bolts? Obviously i'll need to fix the flywheel somehow.

Use a big socket on the crank pulley bolt to stop engine rotation and torque flywheel bolts up. Two people makes this job easy.
