Thanks

Thanks everyone just got some mates to help lower it down with some rope
Any tips on getting it back up?

Thanks guys Managed to get the bolts by dropping the back of the gearbox. Anyone got any tips on sliding the box of the back of the engine? Was thinking rather then a trolley jack, id use two ratchet straps over the chassis rails and under the box and lower it down. Might be more easy to slide it ...

Dont really have one ive seen the engine on ebay for about 1K im guessing an adapter plate isnt cheap and ill pay someone to do the wiring

Im just doing a bit of research before I shell out some money for it

Its RUF full gusset diff pumpkin armor and shaved

Cant wait for this
Gonna be a good day

Thanks for all the info guys
Sound's like I'm gonna have to pull the housing off and give it a good go

Might be a dumb question
What if I just leave the crack it only leaks a little bit
And its my comp car so its not like it being driven that much

Can I ask why full hydro? If you are running Tyres big enough to need full hydro then lux diffs won't handle it. What setup will you be running or is it a buggy setup? Ive got a hilux truggy with 37" (comp only) At the moment its got hyrdo assist That's on its way out So thought I would upgrade

Thanks mate
Ill have to give it a shot

Got any advise about welding upside down?

Okay this might be a dumb question

Was wondering how do you decide what size ram to use when setting up full hydro steering?
8" 9" 10"?
How do you measure it?

Ive got a solid hilux

And since I've got you all here whats involved in setting up a rear steering setup?
Thanks
