VK BROCK COMMODORE: V8 Conversion getting out the 5 litre.

[@PetesBuilds]

Big tip for next time you need to remove tailshaft bolts... Rather then getting up and down a billion times, just leave the car in neutral, that way you can just lay there with the spanners you need and crack the bolts. The secret ingredient here is a large flathead screw driver, wedge that in the uni joint to hold the shaft from spinning and crack the bolts loose. spin the shaft and repeat until all 4 are loose, then remove without moving once.

Ah yes that is a great tip 👍🏻

Btw, the LSD centre will fit in the VK provided it has a borgwarner diff.

Now that is good news to know 😊
