Just had a couple of hours working on the car, fitted the R&D front diff and gearbox but I couldn't get the prop in. I had to slacken the bellhousing bolts to get the prop on then once it was all bolted up tight the whole lot is very tight to turn by hand, I can only just about do it.
Now the diff can't be out of place, the sandwich plate between the box/engine is in and both flanges are clean, I made sure they weren't painted.
It's been a long time since I saw this lot in one piece so I can't remember how tight it should be, should I be able to remove the prop with the gearbox fully bolted up? What I'm trying to say is when the 4 bolts are off can it slide back slightly to drop out? I'm sure it shouldn't be this tight but I'm struggling to see why.
