    XF/G DOOR HINGE QUESTION

    you need a 13 mm spanner and 48,859,687 small turns to get the door bolts off,either way you do it just support the door from the start ,i shimmed cardboard on top of the milk crate or some type of stool and rest the door in the middle to avoid dropping and scratching,then just move door away from car on the crate wack out your pin and fit new bushes with a flat hammer of some type,the new pins are so easy to fit and then push on your clips to hold the pin ,bolt door back on and thats it,i have done a few and never needed to re alighn the door.

    XF/G DOOR HINGE QUESTION

    yes the pin will come out but in the kit you get new bushes which can only be fitted when the door is totaly taken off see picture in begining of thread

    XF/G DOOR HINGE QUESTION

    yeah you could do that,or just slide a milk crate under the door when you take it off just for support and 2 people to put back on really helps as by yurself is not impossible but temper testing

    i unscrewed the oil mod line and will get another fitting a bit taller,also re-did the roller rockers to 008 010 clearance,put the belt on just to line up the pulleys and alt,waiting for a intake gasket to come to fit the manifold.

    84DA CROSSFLOW BUILD

    i did that on the last t5 problem,i just had another look at it the fork is correct for that bell as it has a pivot mark line in the fork which when in position lines up perfect with the pushrod,i think that bearing i have may be not the right one but when i orderd it ,they said it suits 6 and 8 cyl >??? all i need is the bearing clip fork holders to be 1cm further in ,and it will be 100% so i will look soon for another bearing they should make one FBJ bearing.
