Ok, what do I need to do to do this clutch?

I don't know how big a job the engine removal is and can it be done by borrowing/hiring an A-frame craney type thingy... or is it better to lift the car and take the engine out from underneath?Can the engine be moved enough to not come completely out but be able to get the gearbox and transfer box off?
I want to save as much money as I can but don't know what the job entails.

Rob a bank and pay somone to do it is the easiest way....

Ok, Theoretically it's possible to leave the engine in and drop the transfer box / gearbox out of the car frm beneath.
I know some guys that did just that a while ago.
BUT, it's a fuck site easier to man handle it all, and get it right first time if you can get to everything without laying on your back.
In short, personally, I'd drop the whole powertrain out the bottom, do the necessary, build it all back up and reinstall as a complete assembly.

Hmm, I'll have a word at work, I've not had time to read the original post thoroughly, so would it be able to make the trip across the m62 back to base in lincolnshire?

Also does anyone have any experience of the 4x4 system on these? I want something 4x4 for when we get into silly season here with the snow/ice.

I've said I'm not gonna get rid of it now, I'm in the process of buying all the parts I need, I'm going to fix it. Thanks for the interest though guys.

Hello

Here in France these 4X4 bx are appreciated. If you don't find anymore the new parts by Citroen dealers, you could also ask by Peugeot, because of the same parts between Peugeot 405 4X4 4WD and the bx 4X4 .

Hi and bienvenue

Thanks for the advice. It should prove helpful. Would you be willing (as your English seems pretty good) to communicate with the potential suppliers of BX parts as an intermediary? (Oops, sorry about the difficult phrases there!)

hello again

i do not know all, but i have phoned to a nice guy on the french web site ' BX World forum ' with the pseudo name ' Philippe_G ' He still have such a rare BX 4X4 and knows a lot about it. My BX 4WD Estate from Suisse is gone to the Cemetery for cars 2 years ago .....The parts are hard to find, but with the energy and contacts, you find them ....Sometimes expensive....
