had a few people phone me in the past regarding removing the alluminium part of the sump with engine in situ and struggling to get it off (in some cases actually snapping it lol) more sales:twisted:
so for those of you that dont know, who need to remove the whole sump
firstly... theres a plate on the back edge (flywheel cover) behind that you will find 2 10mm nuts which need to be removed as the sump will not come off without removing these, but be warned! when you remove them make sure you either put a magnet on them or have a firm hold on them because if they drop they will drop into the clutch housing and can cause damage to your flywheel etc.
secondly...the sump will be firmly stuck in place by silicone and 2 locators toward rear of sump, but if you look at the back edge of it there are 2 screw holes (1 either side) you can screw a bolt in these which will gently and evenly prise the sump free of the locators and break the silicone seal holding it firm.
all very simple really but will save a few people diving under their cars with crowbars etc wreaking havoc:roll::lol:
