Clutch was just gone on my 95,300tdi .
Bought the bits ,it was a sunny day today so out came the tools and the plasters at the ready.
As per Haynes i have removed everything as per the manual ,engine hoist attached and ready to remove the last three top fixings to release the engine from the transmission.
My question is this, the nuts as a b stard to remove ,what actual size are these nut ?, seem to be 15mm but have very short shoulders for the socket to fit on ,the previous nuts were swines but they all came off eventually, but how the hell do you get these last three off,hi have lifted the engine, dropped it down until it fouls on the steeringbox,but it wont lower enough to allow me to get on the nuts square to remove,other than remove the props and release the gearbox and trans box so i can lift and pull the whole unit forward,HELP HELP HELP
Due to the amount of force i used on the other nuts i think this is its first clutch 136k on the clock.
