"D22 Engine Removal" |
|
| |
| Well, after the saga removing the gearbox, the engine was left sitting on blocks. However, only 1 mounting was holding the engine onto the bus... Permission was sought from the management commitee to keep the engine as a spare, and permission was granted. So today's job, was to remove the engine and get the remaining seats out of D22.... |
