Easier way I found was to undo the nut until it sits flush with the thread and wack around the housing a couple of times then some decent ones on the nut and it normally drops down straight away if not repeat the process until it works.

My weekend consisted of trying to get a door open on my skyline that had decided it was going to fail in the central locking unit. 4hrs over the weekend and its finally open. I now need a new interior door skin but that's nothing I was going to get the grinder out and cut a hole in it haha.

I have used a small gear puller to load it up then as per Coxsy's hammer held up against one side and a smack with another on the other......

neva thought of that b4. will have to give it a go next time makes perfect sense realy, cos you loose all the energy from the hit with nuthing suporting the otherside, this will keep the energy where ya want it.

Thanks coxsy

and if it a replacement you need to do a few times copper coat it so it comes out easier next time

Sweet. All is done on the Lada now, just waiting to get the head back. Then its ready to get running. After a test run it will be painted.

At last count about 3 (i think).

Went to start the 80, starter battery +ve terminal melted, blew and threw out lots of smoke. Now doesnt start. Shut door, locked and took another car out instead.

Took the family up north, here is a few picks. We are so lucky to live in such a great part of NZ. East and west coasts only 15mins apart

Went and looked at a dog today, black lab cross and man hes big.

Also, went to see a mate, got a 200cc suzuki for free, and a ride on lawn mower for 50 bucks and 2 pies.
