jcarroll Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 It is not as simple as draining out the last bits of oil and undoing the bolts around the sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 From what ive been told there are nothches in the fly wheel so you can line them up and slide a long allan key up in there to loosen them off, its only two bolts up there , the rest are all pretty visible.

Damodcd Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 yer all sorted now its pretty easy if u have the right tool for the job!!! u need a extra long ball end hex key to get at one of the bolts that was a pain in the arse lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Fair enough, I had a sump scare that turned out to be loose plug , and was told that lupo sumps were on back order and they didn't know when they would be able to get them in. Sounds like you had better luck, must have been a messy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damodcd Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) A little word of warring lol, i cracked my new sump, i was reali worried it was a fault of mine again lol but when i removed the new sump and put it next to the original, i found out its taller so it sits about 3 or 4 inchs lower, so i took the old one to a place in kempston they welded it up and put a plate on the out side (even with the plate it doesnt sit lower then the new sump i was given) and it only cost 40 pound, so its a much beter way of going about it then buyin a new one!!! i will get some pics up when i can looks pretty damn good lol Edited May 25, 2009 by Damodcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damodcd Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 well still was my fault i know, but i ment that y it went in two weeks, in stead of a year and a half lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
