Mine on 15" Tolimans and Falken AT3WA tyres, just need to figure out some centre caps https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250105/3ac6d417eef428e66883f3a1c267ce59.jpg Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk Domed stickers on raised Merc centre caps (debadged) for my Tollimans https://uploads.tap...

I'll vouch for the gearbox being a heavy lump. I used a bit of scaffold pole to support the engine when I removed my gearbox to change the clutch, had a bit more trust in metal than wood. If you don't have a trolley jack try using an old skate board if you have one to help you move it once it's off ...

Haven't got to it yet, other projects getting in the way unfortunately. When I do I'll post what I did but the advice from the guys above should help a bit.
If you manage it before I do it would be great to see some pictures, I'll be doing the same.

Project stalled a bit since last update but I am hoping to pick up where I left off soon, don't want to miss another summer in the van!
Will make sure I keep this up to date when I do.

I've been trawling through the posts to find an example of a sill replacement on the sliding door side. I've found loads for drivers side sill repairs but none for the sliding door side. I'm trying to figure out if it's best to complete my rear wing replacement and then move onto the sill (which doe...

Half my time was spent removing the ton of sealant hiding the locations of these spots underneath. The ...

Right, after over a year of thinking about it I thought it was about time I started carving the grot off my van. This could be a BIG mistake as I have done little metal work before and nothing as ambitious as this. The van could do with a lot of panels being replaced but I'm going to start with all ...

Great thread ropeman, it was my van's 20th birthday last week so I'm going to treat her to some much needed grot surgery, your pics are just the inspiration I need!

Cheers guys, didn't even think of a six point socket, will give them all a go. Had thought of drilling it off but knowing what I'm like with a drill will leave that one till last!

thanks again

My task - I am in the middle of replacing the clutch on my 2.1i 5 speed (first job on my first T25, diving straight on in!) and have spotted that I need to replace the boot on the gearshift shaft coming out of the gearbox attaching to the gearshift linkage. My problem - the nut holding the gearshift...
