Ol_mate, you're a legend.

I don't know why the guy at my Pirtek store wouldn't think of that. If he had, i might've been able to put it on today.

Damn it !

Thanks everyone!

I've just got tate freeeeegan bolt out (2:15pm!!)

Removed both heater hoses, moved the valley outta the way and still had heaps of probs.

Now having trouble pinching the clamp and pulling on that hose..haha

It never ends !

(stuck catchin the train for a few days now too...bugga)

:)

Jase mate, have you got it yet?

What are you using to get the hose clamp? long needle nose pliers - supercheap auto sell them for like $7.

I went down to visit my car to do a few small things today, and I thought just for the fun of it I'd stick my hand around the back just to remind myself of how hard it is. Didn't have any problems?

Have a look at this pic. See how it goes around the block?

Can you get the other side of the pipe?

The hose clamp isn't too hard to get to, still fiddley though.

It's the second mounting bracket which was near impossible to get.

Can't see, can only JUST feal it.

I had my right hand shoved in from the turbo side and that hand felt the bolt and guiding the spanner to it which was in my left hand coming straight down from the top thru the 'vally'

If you has no problems, you must be forgetting this bolt.

The first one on the corner is a piece of P to get off.

The second nearly sent me to the mental hospital and it will NOT be going back on.

:laugh:

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
