JoeyMk6 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hi there, I need to remove my sump from a 1.3 Endura E, It's got the Ali sump but even with all the external bolts removed it's still as tight as hell. Is there some bolts in the bell housing? The mystical green manual says not but it's unbelievably tight. If anyone has any info on them It would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyMk6 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Incase anyone else has to do it, Slacken off all the bell housing bolts, pry the gearbox over until you can access the 2 small bolts with a narrow socket and ratchet.
