CharlesElliott Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Stripping my car for a replacement chassis. I think I remember that the prop needs to be unbolted before the diff can be removed. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted December 13, 2015 Area Representative Share Posted December 13, 2015 Up and about Charles. That's good news (or is this thinking ahead?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yes, up and about. Still not 100%, my resting heart rate is high and I still have bouts of tiredness, but definitely better thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSPY Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 you can pull it all out as one unit and the method i prefer as it allows better access to the prop bolts so much easier to do up and undo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted December 14, 2015 Support Team Share Posted December 14, 2015 I took it out last time with the prop still attached but in the end removed the de-dion tube to make access easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Everything's got to come out before the chassis gets dumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Its certainly easier Charles but no it can come out in one - very simple if the tube is already out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 OK, cage off yesterday, (mashed) fuel tank and boot floor out earlier. Now started on the rear with the o/s now apart. Then I'll do the n/s, rear ARB and A-frame then the De Dion can come out.Given that, I'll probably extract the diff with prop in place.Still got to remove the loom, brake pipe front to rear and fuel feed/return.

Simon.Rogers Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Come on Charles. After my big one it took me just short of 11 hrs including some disc grinder work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSPY Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 took us 14h to re chassis an R300 and have it ready to race again a couple of years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 To be honest, taking it apart is proving quicker than I expected.Happy to have your try and beat your record though Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
