I'm changing my clutch this week. I'm gonna pull the engine and box as one. Its a petrol Express with LPG. I'm giving myself the whole week to do it so no rush. While its out, i'm gonna do the exhaust manifold gaskets which are puffing a bit. I know the studs are prone to shearing so i'm gonna grind the nuts so they all come out nice an easy. Whilst its out, i'm gonna change the water pump as well because its easier to do with the engine on the ground.
I don't know why but i'm not looking forward to this. My main vehicle experience is with Triumph Stags and TR6/7/8s so this should be a walk in the park.
Is there any advice anyone out there can give before I jump in head first?

I'm just about ready to lift the engine out. Its all came apart really easily but i'm stumped on one part. How do you remove the speedo cable from the Gearbox?

All done. No problems. Easiest Engine I have ever pulled due to the front unbolting. New Clutch fitted and a water pump whilst it was out.
Clutch is now nice and light and with Power Steering, its like driving a modern van.
