The engine hoist should only be required
for a short time and can usually be
sourced from a tool hire company. The 41
mm socket and torque wrench will be
required to tighten the rear hubs to the
drive shafts and the cut down Allen key is
required to tighten the gearbox oil filler
plug, due to the restricted access in the
transmission tunnel. The key can be
modified as shown in Fig 22.
