Re: Help required removing a UN1

Hi Darren,

On a GTD with engine in 'slightly lowered' (30mm) mounting position and UN1 attached via R30 bellhousing/adapter plate - the easiest way is to remove the 2 bolts securing the slave cyl, remove the 4 long bolts (2 each side) that secure the bell housing to the adapter plate. Place a block of wood under the lowest edge of the adapter plate and jack this up a bit.

This will tilt the motor/trans for so that it can be pulled backwards and off. It can be done alone but watch your back!!.

This of course assumes you have already removed the exhausts, inner driveshaft couplings, undone or removed rear trans mount brackets etc...

Also - when tilting, don't do it too much and watch your rear internal window glass!! - you don't want to push anything into that!..
