With simple DIY tools, documented by Alexx from Germany on his 750.



Lifting the car

simple safety measures to keep the car up

blanket and light

destroying the exhaust copper nuts with a 'nutcracker'

took him some hours to get all nuts off the exhaust connections

trans supports are damaged too

after removing the heat shield

drive shaft out after removing 6 screws at the differential/final drive. Very difficult, I know and Take also.

After marking the parts of the drive shaft, next problem, how to get the center mount off? Solution:

damaged old mount/bearing

the shopping list

click

lifting the trans

comparison old/new parts of trans

preloading center bearing by 4-5 mms.

broken heat shield enforced

new exhaust gaskets, sealant and nuts
