Thanks Guys. Bruce, how are you? I love those flashlights that you sent me. I used one so much that the light bulb burned out. I am on my second one. Can I buy a few more from you. They are great when working on my F'cars. | ||

Dont confuse "possible" with "efficient". You will quite likely make many mistakes, disturb things unnecessarily, neglect proper procedure, omitt important jobs, damage things or yourself and definitely take about 3 times as long to do belts/pump etc in situ. It's just plain crazy. If subframe removal is the obstacle, then you'd be better off on many counts buying a 2nd hand hoist and building a garage at home high enough. You can take the engine out the top with a crane if you like, TR's and M's need that anyway, so to do it on a TRossa at home is quite straight forward relatively speaking if you can't have a hoist. | ||

Thanks Jeff. I thought it would be very tough to get at but I just wanted to know if it is possible. Then again I guess it is possible to do TR t-belts with the engine in the car but not convenient from what I have heard. Thanks Again. | ||

IF.....you can remove the right side cam belt cover then you can remove the water pump. I think if you removed the right side fuel tank, it could be done. It would be difficult though. | ||

A TR owner and I were discussing this at a recent show I was at. Can this be done? I know that many rebuild it while the engine is out. I am curious to know if it can be removed while the engine is in the car. Thanks. |
