mike30841 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I am in the process of changing the core plugs on my Bedford OX. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove and replace the one at the back of the block without removing the engine. I thought from the manual that it might be possible to remove the bell-housing with the engine in situ, but there seems to be very little room between it and the engine cover in the cab, which doesn't appear to be removable. I am sure one of you will know the answer to this one. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Its been years, but I seem to remember we got the transmission off, but couldn't pull the bell housing in place. Room ? engine mounts ? tight dowel pins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listerdiesel Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Bedford had a gearbox/bell housing setup that was a bit unusual, but on most you could move the engine up and forward if the mounts were taken off. Coaches were a regular for this treatment as inevitably the body builders never left room to get at everything. Many a clutch done by the side of the road!
