Do I need to remove the gearbox cover to do this?
As with most jobs I take on myself, I always find one blasted nut I can't get at. This time it's the right-hand bolt attaching the gearbox to the mount; the cross-member's in the way, and so is the downpipe when I try to get at it from underneath.
Found partial access on the right hand side of the gearbox cover where a rubber seal has disintegrated, but there's not really enough room through it to do more than stop the bolt rotating when I try to undo the nut.
Does anyone have any experience with this, any advice? I'll remove the cover if I have to, but that seems like a lot of dismantling for what should be a quick and easy swap.
Thanks...
