El Freddo, Majordad here in Brissy. Picked up a 4spd dual range for my Brumby the other day to replacing existing box that's leaking oil (310000kms). Trying to get the Box extension housing off to have look see inside and does not seem to want to lift up more than 4-5mm despite my prying with several screwdrivers. What am I missing here ?
On another note, Ausubaru.com no more, assume not enough of us ols Suby owners to support it ? Barry

Hey Barry,
Firstly, Ausubaru isn't working great. It's still there - just!
To access, use modzilla Firefox or an old version of internet explorer. Then it works perfect. Otherwise it's one page every couple of hours.
The good news is that AndyT has all the forum's data and is in the process of transferring this to a new interface. So it's just a matter of time before she's all apples again - I can't wait!!
Now, the gearbox:
To remove the rear extension housing I believe that you need to pull all the 4wd engaging mechanism and all the associated rods/slides too. Then I think you need to get a small bolt on the selector shaft removed - but I could be wrong on this (I've not pulled a 4spd apart - yet).
Once you can move the selector shaft away from the selector forks further in the gearbox I think you'll be able to pull the rear extension housing off. It won't be an easy or fun job. Reassembly of a pt4wd box is not fun.
Awd boxes are soooo much easier by comparison!!
I hope you get it sorted!
Cheers
Bennie
