Hi folks, A mechanic friend told me a new oil sump was needed before I started to have a problem. He told me it was easy to do. I'm no mechanic but if I just need to replace one thing for the same I can generally do it.
Of course I am now stuck. There is one stud I can't get to properly. It is by what I'm guessing is a support for the drive shaft, which has the alternator on top of that. I can't unscrew the stud far enough out to allow the bracket holding the sump to drop free. Is it possible to loosen this drive shaft support slightly to allow play so I can continue, if so how? Or am I missing something easier (hope so)
It's a 2007 motorhome X250 with a 3litre engine
Many thanks.
