Word of warning that's not mentioned here:-
I really had to hammer the bejesus out of the old one to separate the aluminium cylinder from the teardrop. I you haven't got a vice and a big hammer and and enthusiasm for mindless destruction then leave well alone! I had to take a run up and the cylinder was far from round when finished. That said it only took an hour or so. End results are good though, no more stutter/judder on pull away. Yay. |

Unless the diesel is mounted differently its much easier and safer just to drive it up on ramps.
I used a G clamp to help press in the new one. |
