Has anyone changed one of these without removing the transmission? So far I have taken the upper inlet manifold off, pushed the hoses out of the way at the rear of the engine. I then removed the 13mm bolt located on the housing next to the driver side exhaust manifold. I'm confident I can remove the 3x 10mm bolts attached to the housing but there are 2 x alloy tubes attached also which I do not know the size.
Prior to this today I replaced the water pump and the radiator hose inlet gasket. I was lucky that the previous owner replaced the inlet manifold gaskets with metal ones. I was quoted $118 at Repo, $88 from Holden but they were $35 on eBay (genuine including postage!)
