Clutch rattle

[Ivor Hawkins]

Good list there Bruce, but you forgot all the swearing when you have a Nippy sump like mine has!

In fact I have the same job to do on mine as the bearing is noisy and thinking I may have to remove the sump to get the b*gger out!

I use a Nippy sump and simply remove it before the engine is hoisted out. Likewise drop the engine back in then re-fit the sump in situ - you may find you have to lift the front end a little to get it in. I would only caution you to have a good look around afterwards and make sure you have made a good joint, as it's easy to mess it up & not notice.

Thanks Chris, I shall be vigilant, but I think I’ll tackle the job in the new year...it might be warmer!
