Removing rear tub?

This is the second you've had which has been shunted isn't it? :(

Don't think you should be doing much cutting at all, Derry - chopping the heads of bolts would be all I would use the grinder for. I'd take the seats out, seatbox, stuff like seatbelts, then truck cab roof and rear panel. Remember and disconnect ALL the light wires at the back (guess who forgot one once ;)

Remember also about the fuel tank filler hose disconnection. Let me know if you need a hand lifting it off.

Same one. I'm just a bit slow. But I do have a replacement

Thanks, Willie, I was intending to email you privately anyway! The tub at Ilkeston is being brought north by Invergordon Port Services, hopefully on Tuesday.

Don't know of any

Yes. It may be just possible to do it without, but the cab is not difficult to remove.

Should be no need to cut anything. Disconnect wiring to lights, seatbelts, remove cab (after removing inside trim, row of bolts along top of windscreen and bolts along top of tub), bolts at back of sills, bolts at rear of seat box - may be easier to remove entire seat box, bolts from underneath at the front and bolts along the back cross member. You will need a friend to help lift the tub off, or a hoist. The only problem will probably be that most of the bolts are rusted up.

Have fun, JD
