Replace Gear Oil
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2015 5:21 pm
Hi All
So I'd like to change the gearbox oil and have read the threads and I can see that broadly there are two options
1. Through the gear lever
2. Through the hole on the side
1 can be done without the need for a lift or a pit which I don't have so that's the method I chose, however - how do you loosen the nut - I have small hands but even so there was no way I could get the necessary purchase on the nut! I'm not too keen on drilling a hole in the passenger footwell as I've seen on a few threads.
I've put a few pictures below to show y'all what I think is the drain hole bolt
Any ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Gareth
