General Homemade gearbox removal clamp

Gearbox removal brackets Thanks To Aidan for lending me the gear and allowing this to be reproduced. These allow you to remove the gearbox with it attached to something solid so it doesn't fall off and injure you or worse your gearbox. It also allows some freedom of movement to wiggle the box past the various bits. I was removing a Syncro gearbox but it can be used for 2 wheel drive boxes as well. VW made some lugs and holes exactly for this purpose.

Underside jack mount. This bolts through the Jack and holds the whole shebang together. The flat bit of metal is a washer to prevent the locking nut pulling though the hole on the jack note the rubber "boot" to prevent the metal locking together under the weight.
