Step 5 - Once the car is jacked up, fit an axle stand underneath in case the jack fails. Again, fit it on a suibtable point such as the member running down the car as shown. Note I always release the jack until the weight sits on the axle stand and then pump the jack once more so the weight is split between the two
Step 6 - Once the car is safely supported, climb under and trace the gearbox linkage (shown in picture 1) to the joint we are interested in (picture 2)
Step 7 - Hook an 11mm ring spanner over the top of the assembly and hold it in place. Note you can pull the linkage down to make it easier to fit the spanner on
