Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'Day i own a 92 Feroza just bought a new clutch kit,wondering how hard it is to do it myself or pay a mechanic,I have done cars before but never attempted a 4x4,is the weight of the box going to be an issue?Any help would be appreciated

IIRC the Feroza gearbox/ transfer case assembly is supposed to weigh around 60kg? Plenty of people on here have done them themselves- me, I'm chickening out and paying a mechanic!

Been there done that, it's not that hard, saves money, I had burnt out the stardard clutch after a major tow with a FJ55 cruiser.

Didn't do it on my own, didn't have a transmission jack, so i got a mate, 2 jacks and lotta swearing and sweat. in the end it's all good.

easy to do yourself with the help of a trolley jack.

had my gearbox out a month or so ago to change a flogged out thrust bearing.

Thanks guys i will give it a go,get a few mates and a carton should get something done between us.

Does anyone have advise on religning the clutch plate?

i think you can buy a tool pretty cheaply

i didn't need it as when's the gearbox's out, i stick my head in that tunnel and had a look thru the centre, line it up and tighten the bolts for the pressure plate, got it in after 2nd attempt.

haha.. same here. i use my eye sight plus i feel with my fingers to make sure the clutch plate 'feels' like it's the same distance from the edge of the flyweel/pressure plate all the way around.

A Bolt with a bit of tape wrapped around it works fine.
