esky boi Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Nah, can't feel it or even see it really aye, the bit that needs beating out is pretty much concealed by the gearbox. Doesnt need a whole heap of bashing either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_escort Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 oh yeah... so it soundz a bit easier 2 cut and weild or beat it out... also i think someone said earlier on this topic you can use the short part of the driveshaft off the sierra (or cortina?), and short part off the escort and this works... can someone set us straight please??

R100 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 beating it with a hammer sounds ruff but you can't see it so who cares? I guess if you only have to beat it a little bit, it doesnt matter, im talking about beating the whole tunnel up with a hammer, now thats ruff lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
