once the prop is back in, fill it through the gearstick hole!

Or take it to VC.

actually - this method only requires that you undo 4 bolts on the propshaft, and 4 bolts on the gearshift boot. plus 1 circlip. its no big deal!

Ok Im gonna go look for these 4 bolts by the propshaft. The shifter thingy is easy

they're gonna be tight bolts on that prop, dont crush your fingers when the nut cracks loose!!!

I adjusted the clutch and it seems ok, clutch is high though. So Ill leave it for now.

Need to sort out the BOV, cos I feel theres a boost leak.

you're right. hell, that'll cut it down to 5 bolts to remove! and it will make the job about 60% easier.
