I have a 1998 Rodeo 2.8L Turbo diesel 4x4 R7, with a clutch just starting to slip.
I'll swap it myself, but ask here for anyone's tips, or are there "difficult bits" in the process I need to know about, pref., BEFORE I jack it up and begin?
I did my 1978 Holden Gemini, and a Holden "Shuttle" clutch changes myself, but a few years ago...?
I can't find a manual on this ute, to give me the lead I need.
Any hard bits, or special tools needed, pls?
I have a "clutch centering tool" aka "the front of another gearbox mainshaft", gas-axed off by an obliging wrecker in West Heidelberg, which was good for the Gemini. I suspect it will be good also for the Rodeo?
So, can someone confirm that is correct, but also on any other "tricks" or hard bits, special tools, etc., I'd best be pre-warned of...?
Like...: how does the "transfer case" and stuff effect this operation? Do I have to drop the FWD shaft? Not that that's hard. But "time" is against me. Fore-warned is fore-armed, etc.
Perhaps a webpage link, with the process described?
(I live alone. VERY "alone"...)
Cheers
