Default Gearbox swap tips ???

Got the chance to borrow a ramp next week so am going to attemp to fit my new box.
Swapping the standard 752 V3 box for a 754 P1 box.

Anybody got any tips, advice on doing it or anything I should watch out for. From what I've read it seems like a fairly easy'ish' job but advice from people who have done it would be great.

Thanks chaps as always

Thanks Matt.
The guy who owns the garage is gonna give me a shout when the ramp is free for an evening so I'm not sure which day yet.
He's gonna be there to help me lift the box etc so should be ok. Thanks anyway though buddy, I still owe you a drink from helping me last time.

3 hours, doesn't sound too bad. I'll add an hour on that as I'm a bugger for coffee breaks, lol. So, if I get on it at 6 should be done and driving home by 10, fingers crossed.

Good luck
