doddel Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 how much work is it to replace a bulkhead on a 110 HT? Do you need any special tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastcard Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 No special tools, just time. Loads of previous threads on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 do a search, but, in a nutshell its an easy job, took me and my wife 2 days to do not working particularly quickly, just make sure you have some mates round at the lifting off/on stage as its heavy!

Guest diesel_jim Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I did a search, but couldn't find much info, will try again.Do you have to take out the engine? No. basically it's: wings off bonnet off front doors off floor plates out transmission tunnel out windscreen out (either take the whole roof off, or just losen all the bolts so you can prize it up a bit, and then remove the frame) disconnect battery disconnect the battery cable from the starter unplug all the lighting loom plugs and vehicle loom plugs. disconnect the wing wiring looms (they power the headlights) or just snip the wires all off and crimp on some spades to re-connect to the new bulkhead (Td5's have un-pluggable wing looms... great idea!) disconnect clutch hydraulic pipe disconnect brake pipes (if you're lucky, you might be able to undo the master cylinder off of the servo and gently pull away the cylinder with all the brakes still connected. will save you having to re-bleed them after. disconnect throttle cable disconnect steering linkage disconnect any extra wiring you might have installed (rear spotlights? rear speakers from stereo? CB aerial cable?) that goes through the bulkhead. disconnect heater water pipes. thats about it. easiest way is to get an engine crane, bolt a couple of eyes through the holes where the windscreen brackets went, and lift it up with a sling. or invite a few of your mates over for a pizza and get them to help you lift.

JST Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 windscreen out (either take the whole roof off, or just losen all the bolts so you can prize it up a bit, and then remove the frame) as Jim says its quite heavy to take out with all the bits still on it though so a crane with a long reach is advisable putting the windscreen back in with roof on can be fun!

doddel Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 thanks. sounds like you need a secured area to do this job, so it will have to wait a bit... (unless someone in the Liverpool region would be so kind to give some space for 2 or 3 days...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
