If you could answer a few of questions before I start, I'd greatly appreciate your input.
1. Can I remove the nose cone with engine/transmission in place ?
I'd be putting the bus on stands, working underneath and supporting the gearbox before starting.
2. Will there be much Transmission fluid loss ?
ie. Will I need a catch can ready once I've cracked the nose cone bolts ?
Or would it be better to drain the gearbox first ?
3. Is the, (potentially cracked), bracket alloy or steel ?
My welder's capabilities are limited to steel/stainless.
Any advice , greatly appreciated......
you can't get the nose cone off in situ but I think you can move it far enough forward to get to the bracket in there.
yes oil will flow out
the bracket is steel
mine is on the hoist at the moment, I'll have a good look tomorrow around the nose cone to make sure it can be done.
