Dismantling a Maverick

I take back everything bad I have said about the Navara, after 3 hours the engine was out. 6 hours spent on the Maverick and still not ready to lift out. The front axle and diff was a real struggle, every bolt was tight to the end and hard to get at. The torsion bars are further forward and closer together than on the Navara which make the front axle a tight fit.I read the workshop manual when I got home to find you should lift the engine to make more room, a case of. "If at first you don't succeed, read the instructions."  On the Navara this job was a doddle.

The 4 wheel drive selector is being a pain it's completely rusted and looks as if it came off the Titanic last week. I hope the selector from the Navara fits which has been modified and is much better, no rubber boots to hold any water.
