Author	Subject: Dropped bolt into the hole in the top of the gearbox!
luke89 Regular Location: Preston Registered: 28 Aug 2014 Posts: 486 Status: Offline	Post #1 Hi folks, Whilst refitting the ICV I have dropped a bolt into the gearbox, I have no idea why theres a hole in the box but its a right pain in the arse. The bolt is currently sat on top of the flywheel and I'm going to get a magnetic pickup tool tomorrow, however if I knock it down into the box will it be a box out job? Cheers!

Don't think the box needed to come out completely ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look'

You should be able to prise the gearbox aside enough to get access.
