How heavy are they? Ive got no idea what box it is, but how heavy are they in comparison to an F13?

Reason i ask is the missus just rinsed the clutch in my Cav, guess whos got the wonderful job of changing it :roll: AND rebuilding the engine in her Punto that she managed to explode!!

Yea, the box is a tad large to say the least!!

If i could be @rsed, id stick the engine in't Nova. But my 1.6 will make similiar power for less weight and hassle TBH

40kg off the top of my head, the F16 /F18 / F20 are all the same weight and al hurt equally as much when you drop one your foot.

The F28 is about 60-70kg dry an that really does hurt when they gets dropped lol

Do it with the box left on....
If its a flat fly, and a box with a access panel in the bottom.

they are easy easy easy, ive done millions of them. On your drive is fun though pressing the box back up in place on your back. I cut my face doing that once with a F20

Itll be easier to remove the box Ad, as the inspection cover is minature in comparison to the clutch itself.
