Also, I swapped out the pulley. Doing this with the SC out of the car makes it effortless.

I just wanted to let everyone know that they can save some time and energy this way.

Thats a good idea to add to the DIY : https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...arger-oil.html

Glad you were still able to access everything, i am glad the oil reservoirs were not dry. That could have been a SC gear shot.

Well done on the work.
