welshlad Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Any ideas on how to empty the box of all its oil withought taking a driveshaft out? Forward facing down a very steep hill maybe? (Joking) or how about a fuel hand syphon thingy?? Bought some fresh oil to put in as im sure it must need renewing by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 whip a driveshaft out the only way I think, it wont get it all out but most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think thats the way im gonna have to do it i have heard of a device thats sucks the oil through the dipstick but im not gonna get hold of one today or stupidly i could put a long lenghth of clear tube bodged onto the end of my hoover pipe, wait until most of the oil is in the clear tube then turn the hoover off to empty it etc hmmm i might actually try this instead off taking a driveshaft off ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee81 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Use the gearbox drain nut that fitted to the front bottom of the gearbox. On some this has a long steel shank with a nut at the base so it can only be undone with a ring spanner. But its look varies Usefull for a oil change but nout else as you'll still get a bit oil out if you remove driveshafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kenny stag Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi Mate, Take her for a good run to get the gearbox oil hot, drop the plug at the bottom of the gearbox, and it should drain out nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 I put a padded block of wood on top of the wings with rope on the gearbox, a jack under the gearbox and then took the gearbox cradle off! the drainage nut can only come off with gearbox off or cradle as i did it what a pain in the arse but i changed a rubber mount while i was at it. Changes into gear a lot smother now i can def tell the difference its made. Also it only had about two litres of oil in it so it was litre short!
