DC_ Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 As it says guys, mines has a slight leak at the drop arm. Another good deal by a forum member got me a hopefully good replacement. It’s all in one piece. So do I need to remove the arm or can I fit it as one whole unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 My old 6 bolt came out with the drop arm attached and the new four bolt went in with it attached.... so yes, you can do this fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If you have a V8, you may need to remove the oil pressure switch to get it past, or risk smashing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_ Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 So wee update, passed MOT with no advisories 😎 steering box was fitted today with no major woes. Was a bit tight as the first test drive was done. So gave it a bleed, after a shower of ATF scooshed out, test drive number two was good. No leaks so far 😀🙏 Fitted as a whole unit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
