"D23 Engine / Gearbox Disconnected" |
|
| |
| After a well earned Christmas and New Year break, a detailed to-do list was carried out. However, we had to start at some point, and hence today was the day when we decided to tackle removing D23's engine. |
| |
| Lessons had be learnt from the D22 excercise and this time we knew what to expect. So a plan of action was created to span 3 days (or 3 weeks considering 1 day per week) |
| |
| Day 1: Disconnect all pipes and wiring, and drain necessary fluids |
| Day 2: Loosen engine and gearbox mountings |
| Day 3: Lift engine and gearbox out the bus |
| |
| So here we are, Day 1... Disconnect all pipes and wiring, and drain necessary fluids.... |
