And the jono version :)

Do i want to jack front or back of puk?
I assume its the 4 bolts that i can see looking straight down to the rear from the gearbox
Is there anything i need to do on the prop shaft seals while this is out?
Does the prop just drop or is it a pull towards the gearbox?
Is there anything i need to watch out for putting it back in?

I was reading up on a similar post on the capri forum and some people really had a go at the poster for asking basic questions and told them to get a haynes manual. Some of the posters were upset by the comment of the manual but i felt for the chap.

As always, i like this forum because it actually helps and there are some really good people on here helping. Thank you ever so much :)
