You will be able to get more leverage safer with a socket wrench

It's a massive, massive bolt they are quite resilient to damage!!!

Make sure you get the 3 part clutch kit. Theres no sense in not replacing the whole thing while you have it off..

I would phone motor factors today and order one... they never have them in stock really so it might take a day to get it in

If you give the gearbox a spin by hand with it in gear it should turn the output shaft where you took the transfer box prop from.

If that works then you are defo looking at a new clutch.

There is a handy video on centering one without an alignment tool on youtube.

I had never done it untill recently and got it spot on just by feeling round the edge the first try.
